Esplanade Jean Valleix / Allée Jean Monnet
This "small metropolitan space" is a pedestrian space that interconnects the tramway and the densely vegetated public spaces and welcomes a public fountain with a water mirror and another with round fountains at ground level. The water emanating from the fountains is recovered by an ingenious system of drain pipe gutters to return to the closed circuit of the fountains.
The project is perfectly integrated in the existing environment, with adapted volumes, a combination of housing, retail, offices, organised around public spaces (the square, the streets, etc.). The houses show great quality based on an interior/exterior relationship (multi orientation, outdoor spaces, views, etc.), a variety of typologies, an equilibrium between collective housing and individual homes.
