Immeuble d’habitation, dit Le Moustoir

The Le Moustoir residential building, designed by architect Henri Conan and constructed between 1961 and 1963 for the Lorient housing office, serves as a modern showcase for the city's post-war reconstruction. The reinforced concrete structure features prefabricated facades, drawing inspiration from Le Corbusier's residential units. Elevated on pilotis for two-thirds of its length, the building comprises 12 stories housing 99 apartments, predominantly duplexes with cross-ventilation. Most units enjoy southern sunlight through living spaces that open onto a loggia, while outdoor walkways provide access on the northern side.
