PPWSZ / Podhalańska Państwowa Wyższa Szkoła Zawodowa w Nowym Targu

Project idea

Our goal is to design a Sustainable Development Park that combines residential, educational and entertainment functions. The post-industrial area of ​​Coignet Enterprise in Saint-Denis, both the traces of the historical heritage of the place and the modern neighborhood
A green life that respects the need for development is to transform it into learning and rest.
While providing this, a green barrier was created by covering the area with a special tree design to design a completely different green area by separating the area from the industrial areas around it.

Project description

In the area within the green barrier designed around this area, areas where people can spend time together were first created, and more specifically, a cubic residence was designed to work with a historical building inside.
The ground floor of the residence consists of shops and entertainment venues, collective necessity areas. It contains areas where local people may be involved.
The upper floors are more specialized, only the areas consisting of people living in the residence, so they were separated with a separating surface.
The building roof is a green roof and has become one of the common meeting places of the people living in the flats.
The cubic living area is intertwined with the historical building and it is a bridge at the top of the historical building.
The cubic form is cut from place to place and it is aimed to let the sunlight in.
And there is a kindergarten area at the bottom of the residence.
The roof of the kindergarten building has also been turned into a green entertainment area for children, which can be reached by a ramp.
A linear structure with a tree in the form of a bridge has been created in the area that the building can see, which connects 2 historical buildings and the Saint Denis River.
A two car parkings has been created and one of the car parks has been created in an area underground, and one in the ground where the elevation difference is used.

Technical information

While creating the structure, a cubic form was cut in a gridal system with one of the edges 16m. It was aimed to get sunlight from the cut sections.
Each separated 16m unit is divided into 4m gridals, and the plans of the apartments are designed by sitting on these gridals.
There are 4 different types of apartments,
T1: living room
T2: living room + 1 room
T3: living room +2 rooms
T4: living room + 3 rooms
And there are 250 apartments in total and 60% of them are composed of 3 of them.
