The programme of 100 social dwellings is housed in 3 separate buildings which are adapted to the difficulties of the site: views, planning restrictions, preservation of existing trees, etc. The dwellings are of different sizes and they each have a balcony protected with plastic curtains which allow them to be used as rooms in winter.

The landscaping of this project contains three layers: an exterior public garden, private gardens on the balcony of each dwelling and a green roof into which solar panels producing 65% of the hot water for the bathrooms have been integrated.
