French architecture firm Emmanuel Combarel Dominique Marrec has completed an architectural project of student housing for Espacil Habitat in Epinay, France. The residence should house 170 residents, and 19 housing for researchers or invited professors and housing for women in distresses.
As the objective is to create some social coeducation, the building comprised of private study rooms, laundry, space out relaxation internal and outer, gardens were fitted out with fruit trees. Joining the geometry everything in length of the plots of land of the district, built household of wide spaces of full végétalisée ground. In this urban logic, overlaps a geographical logic with a rational orientation of the east-west buildings and the facades protected from the noise pollutions of the voices shod and of the secondary road by effect of mask.
The volumetry of each of 4 buildings is specific to become integrated into its immediate environment, manage transitions with existing neighboring. The global density of the plot of land will be about 1.25, density which seems to us rather strong to be carrier of politeness and rather weak to be able to assure a sewing with the adjoining suburban zone.

This is great, and really well thought out. I wish the Architect who designed my University accomodation had spent as much time and money on it. that siad, the colours are a little much.
