The amphisbene of Paris
rupture with the horizontality of Parisian urbanism, a "tower" of housing tutoie a height of 50 meters, never seen since the 1970s.
On the border of Paris and Greater Paris, the two-headed residential building, called Home, is located in the 13th arrondissement, ZAC Masséna. At the end of the Avenue de France and close to the railway landscape of the station of Austerlitz, it affirms its opening on Ivry. The 200 houses are linked by a common basement, surmounted by a vegetable roof and sheltering shops on the ground floor, and are divided into two distinct volumes. Fifty-fifty, one grouping the private apartments arranged in bleachers, the other superimposes the social housing that twists to fetch the light.
« Contre des logements identiques en tout point », les architectes Gaëlle Hamonic et Jean-Christophe Masson cherchent à transposer les qualités de l’habitat pavillonnaire dans le logement collectif : identité, unicité, et rapport direct à l’extérieur. Ainsi, chaque logement ceinturé par un long balcon trouve sa qualité propre, tandis que le jardin glisse le long des gradins. La façade s’habille d’atours clinquants, mêlant des métaux aux couleurs dorées et argentées. Voici donc une tour d’habitation – qui n’en est pas vraiment une – dont les émergences offrent une vue panoramique sur le paysage parisien. Devenue tour d’observation, elle incite les habitants à comprendre la richesse de la ville qui les entoure
