Djao-Rakitine Team: Irene Djao-Rakitine, Amélia ChevéeThe Halle 216 is surrounded by many new projects such as the Parc des Portes de Paris, the ZAC Nozal-Front Populaire and the Condorcet’s Campus. The project is part of the urban fabric of the existing neighbourhood and the projects around.The building is facing the Place du Front Populaire and offers an active facade designed as a greenhouse with retails and cafés. Between the retail building and the main building, a romantic garden creates an attractive point visible from the Place du Front Populaire.
Two interior streets connect the site with its surrounding context and are punctuated by three different courtyards
- The Exotic Courtyard that consists of a greenhouse covered by a glass roof and hosts generous islands of exotic plants.
- The Central Square which is completely open to the sky and reinforces the urban fabric of the neighbourhood. It is planted with mature majestic trees.
- The Humid Garden which is an inaccessible miniature landscape that can be seen from the adjacent offices.The rooftops offer a recreational escape from the busy city. With views over the place du Front Populaire, they provide spaces where events can be held, open-air meeting rooms, sports fields and vegetable gardens.More projects
