A CHARMING ALLEYWAY IN BELLEVILLE
A stone’s throw from Belleville, the impasse Ramponneau leads into the middle of a dense cluster of houses. These clusters, which are typical of this neighbourhood, follow on from one another in a succession of porches traversing the body of the buildings. This parcel was initially occupied by anarchic constructions built over time, only one of which still remains. It has been heavily restructured to take advantage of the effective volume.

The key aim was to bring this set-back parcel closer to the street, giving it greater visibility and continuity in terms of the street itself. The impasse was extended into a “private” road from east to west across the entire axis of the parcel, through the renovated building, thus reinterpreting the theme of the porch within our operation itself. This simple and logical choice had additional benefits. Here, we explored the gradation of the space and its transition, the public rue Ramponneau provides access to the impasse of the same name, which feels private while remaining public, the “private” road that cuts through our parcel is a semi-collective service route, a meeting place and entrance to the halls of the units and the “buffer” gardens leading into more private spaces.
Typology
Principe constructif
la rue intérieure
The strip of new houses along the “private” road are formed of superimposed duplexes that systematically offer individual entry through “buffer” gardens or private walkways. These dual-aspect, north-south city houses are enhanced with private gardens on the other side of their entrances. The renovated building boasts a technical feat on these first two levels; to allow for free movement on the “private” road, a monumental porch was created over two levels and the full width of the road. In addition to ensuring the continuity of the semi-public space, this porch protects access to the shared hall of the renovated building, while its stainless-steel underside increases luminosity, optical effects and reflections of the lush vegetation in this elongated haven of peace.
séquençage et transversalité
As always, a great deal of care was put into end uses, as well as the treatment of the façades and their openings. Each part of the building that is anchored into the group is clad in enamelled brick to meet maintenance requirements; in fact, this project won the Brick Award in 2016. The non-anchored, aerial volumes are covered in smooth white render, while the ample aluminium openings are protected to the south by wide, 5 mm-thick steel frames: a fusion of our commitment to durability and refined details. This housing operation, made entirely from concrete formwork, is a true breath of fresh air, a haven of peace. Cette opération de logements entièrement réalisée en banche manuportable est une véritable respiration, un poumon très aéré, un havre de paix.
