Two buildings fill up the inside of this block in the very multi-coloured centre of Paris and favour relationships between different types of users. One contains a housing programme and the other holds student rooms and common areas. Its relationship with the city is guaranteed by a third block lined up with the street; it also contains housing units and is responsible for organising pedestrian and vehicle entrance. A bronze-toned anodized aluminium plate skin, perforated in a plant motif, covers the buildings. It thus manages to lighten the weight of the intervention at the heart of the city block.
