Golden Cube

Boulogne-Billancourt, France

Standardization, self-regulation and maximization of ratios are the key words of student residence

All accommodations have an outdoor space. The 1.5m setback allows loggias to be placed on almost the entire facade. The filter effects, moiré effects or even the openings of the perforated metal sheet blur the contours of the volume. The cladding is colonized by nest boxes, inaccessible to tenants and requiring no maintenance.
