This filling element for the historic fabric of Paris affronts integration with heritage by means of a main facade with silk-screen printed sandwich panels. Strict regulations did not allow much variation on the volumetry preestablished for the building of 61 flats, all adapted for the disabled according to French regulations. The effort was thus placed on the development of skins with excellent climatic workings: one, facing the street, shows in silk-screen an oversized fragment of the facade, typical of the bourgeois home of the Haussmann period, while the others are covered in wood slats treated so as not to age and to maintain their original honey colour.
