The building\u2019s design was guided by the principles of standardization, self-regulation and a maximization of internal space. The scheme, which takes up almost the entire plot, has been dubbed the \u2018golden cube\u2019 \u2014 a name which refers to its shimmering fa\u00e7ades.<\/p>\n

Each unit has an external balcony with pleasant external views across the surrounding area. On the other hand, the building\u2019s outline is blurred by the use of filters, water effects and openings in the perforated sheets of steel.<\/p>\n

Developed in collaboration with project coordinators Loci Anima, the scheme includes a \u2018secret garden\u2019, encouraging interaction and a sense of community among residents. This aspect of the scheme also promotes biodiversity, with a range of native vegetation planted on site.<\/p>\n

While the look of the building\u2019s exterior was obviously important, Hamonic + Masson sought innovation inside the structure, as well. \u00a0Here we can see a balcony overlooking the passing street, in a yellow mustard color scheme.<\/p>\n

Large balconies and windows give the residences a soft and airy design. The building\u2019s outline is blurred by the use of perforated steel sheets.<\/p>\n

One of the goals that guided Hamonic + Masson throughout the design process was a desire to emphasize light. As the sun moves across the sky above Paris, it will always be shining into some of the apartments in the building because of their varied orientations. A beautiful way of orchestring the architecture!<\/p>\n
