Montbéliard - Béthoncourt
- Restructuration of 60 dwellings
1990-1994
Around the Peugeot
factories : lots of sick social housing. 40 houses to
be saved.
Now the housing units are all different from each other
: some have more than one storey, they have little extensions,
appartments were added on the roof of the existing building,
and different construction materials were used. All
houses even have yards ! The building had been empty
for ten years and after being remodeled it was rented
out in one month. The whole project was given an image
so traditional that the inhabitants immediately felt
at home, and started putting flowerpots on their windowsills.
