Milky Way Residence
The main units in this project are simple and have a fine stone quality due to the terracotta panel envelope. Voie Lactée (“Milky Way”), the residence designed by Atelier Régis Gachon, consists of two units. In Rue Bollier, a 7-floor linear building overlooks the Ecole Normale Supérieure student residence. Then a unit set back from Allée Léopold Sédar Senghor, which is the same size as the 4-floor ZAC urban development project.

The word of
Atelier Régis Gachon, Architect
InterviewRégis Gachon, the project architect, explains:
“The façades are covered with terracotta panels up to and including the 5th floor. We chose terracotta because it is long lasting, but also to have a top-quality skin, which is dark in colour but reflects light well. The top-floor double attic is coated in a light sandy tone.”The southerly orientation and the fact that the perspective would always be wide open were the main influences on our treatment of the street façade. It is set five metres back. This area is set off and overhung by boxes of different sizes projecting out strongly from the building and attached to the façade. Each box contains 2.80-metre-deep loggias. The loggia frames and side vents are made of anodised aluminium. The end pieces of the flagstone floor and the perforated sheet metal railings have been lacquered in the same tone as the terracotta panels.
