Nemausus I Residential Complex

Nemausus I Residential Complex

Collective housing · by Jean Nouvel · 1987

Nîmes, France

Instead of shrinking apartments to hit a budget, the design prioritizes generous volume and then relies on industrial logic to keep costs down. Most units are through-apartments, encouraging cross-ventilation and giving rooms daylight from two sides. Large terraces act like outdoor living rooms, extending the usable area and making the block feel more like stacked houses than standard flats. The roughness of materials is intentional: the architecture reads as a framework for everyday life that residents can adapt over time.
