Newood Housing

The Newood Housing project, designed by AQMA and La Architectures, spans 5990 m² in Noisy-le-Grand, France, and is set to be completed in 2024. The design features a ring of buildings around a central area, promoting a domestic scale and enhancing the connection between the block and public space, with various housing typologies and outdoor spaces for residents. The project utilizes a mix of materials, including wood and metal cladding, to create a cohesive urban aesthetic while accommodating diverse living arrangements.

Text description provided by the architects. The project takes place in the neighborhood
called "l'île de la Marne" in Noisy-le-Grand, close to Paris. The location is on a long plot
with a very steep slope. The built masses are located around the perimeter of the plot,
at the edge of the property, creating a ring which reveals a very elongated heart of the
block, a real journey within the project. The volume is characterized by fine work of
striping from the ground floor to the R+4 and a significant division of the buildings,
which brings a domestic scale to the heart of this 6000 m² project (2600m² accession
and 3400m² social).
Axonometry

The circulations are placed in exterior faults, which allow sequencing and animation of
the façade linearly. The presence of these faults accentuates the porosity between the
heart of the block and the public space. The multiplication of access points on
platforms of different heights and the nesting of all the buildings help to reduce the
perceived density. This principle of service also allows for greater appropriation of the
different housing units by residents.

Each apartment benefits from an outdoor space: garden, terrace or balcony, most of
which benefit from a clear view of the great landscape of the Marne. The program is
made up of a half-basement level, which houses parking spaces. The accommodation
presents a diversity of typologies ranging from 1 room to 5 rooms, with many single-
storey accommodations with gardens, but also duplexes on the top levels.

The faults and technical rooms on the ground floor are built in concrete, while the rest of
the superstructure is in wood (MOB). Different facade materials are used: wide slatted
wood cladding, deep tight wood cladding, white metal cladding and coating. The roofs
come in the form of single-slope roofs, double slopes or green terraces. The project
presents heterogeneity in the use of materials, the shape of the roofs, the paneling and
the division of the buildings while having a strong urban and architectural coherence
focused on the framework.
