The Lot Canal 4 project has been designed to promote social and generational diversity with a large variety of apartment types and designs.
In the center of the Arsenal eco-neighborhood, the “Canal” environment suggests a built-up area in strips oriented towards the canal, allowing the residents to take full advantage of the setting offered by the presence of the water.

The creation of housing that gives the impression of living in a green setting, in a place anchored in its territory, is combined with the use of outdoor spaces as the highlight of the project. The lower levels are anchored to the ground of the city, where we will find a duplex housing with private garden in the heart of the block. The high levels will dialogue with the trees and the sky. Here, we live on the earth and we live in the sky. With a common horizon, which is to open up views.
