Les Lierres

The housing complex of 312 units, designed by architects Pierre Averous and Maurice Scialom, is situated in the Saint-Barnabé neighborhood, elevated above the eastern part of the city. This project allowed the architects to explore the typology of residential towers, complemented by a series of low-rise buildings arranged in a winged layout to prevent the linear alignment often seen in similar structures. Initial studies date back to 1958 and reference Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation, particularly the duplex configuration of the apartments.
