Villejuif, very close to Paris, is today a dynamic and renowned city with a strong appeal. The Campus project complements this development with an innovative real estate offer, aimed at students.
A regenerated neighborhood
Our project is developing with 5 buildings, creating a new inhabited island, permeable with the city. The density has been transformed into added value: an urban sequencing by the facades, a covering of buildings offering visual breakthroughs and horizon lines, thus animating the district and promoting a smooth urban transition.
Harmonious scales and transitions
A dense program that includes a university and residential complex:
On a landscaped green space, in the pedestals, the ECLA program offers innovative services and activities on the ground floor, promoting a pleasant living environment for students and generating entertainment in a residential area.
On this base, the student accommodation comes to rest as on a garden. Their fragmented silhouettes form a dynamic urban punctuation permeable to sight and the sun.
750 student housing units are set up in this project, divided into several units that can be either associated or autonomous in management and operation.
The operation takes up the challenge of a coexistence of scales and uses, giving everyone their place, their volume and their image.
Establish on a green ecological framework
Today the site is mainly colonized by vegetation characteristic of urban wasteland. The western and southern fringes are occupied by pavilions with gardens to the south of the blind walls to the west.
The city of Villejuif is well known for the large proportion of green spaces in its private spaces. Biodiversity is qualified not only by the quantity of green spaces, but by their connection to form a network which goes hand in hand with the mesh of water: the green frame and the blue frame. This is how we would like to contribute to the connection of these green spaces by building on the strong existing potential of Villejuif.
Water, a real lever for urban biodiversity, is an interesting line of work that can also respond to the problem of rainwater management and its development in public space.
The objective is to create a garden crossing the island in a north-south axis from the Charles de Gaulle roundabout to lead to Rue Carnot.
The garden park:
The garden is planned to accommodate different functions:
an outdoor sports area
a shared vegetable garden and / or collective orchard (student association)
free lawns
rainwater management and development channel (irrigation)
wooded edge of transition to riverside gardens
offer of micro-equipment adapted to student life (reading room, picnic table ...)
playground for children (neighborhood life) and educational equipment
soft cross link
event space
