OFFICE, in collaboration with NP2F, has won the restricted competition for renovation and transformation of the Caserne de Reuilly in Paris (lot C). The project consists of a mix of program with a strong focus on housing. The former military site will house 600 units (40.000m2) and the central space transformed into a public garden.
_
The buildings of the caserne de Reuilly stand alone. Detached from each other, they express a relative dignity and provide a strong common vision. Today the overall architecture creates an unreachable urban “machine”, protected by a wall.
Now dedicated to welcome Parisians, the caserne must become a porous place in the city. The project developed by NP2F and OFFICE proposes the creation of different
volumes, independent of the existing building. These new constructions slip gently in the existing voids, remaining at close distance, and thus allow visual connection from the city towards the garden.
The project forms a complex piece of city where every building has its own characteristics while sharing a common language. The different volumes therefore are engage in a dialogue with each other, the garden and the city that surround them and provide a strong transition between public space and private space. Visible from the street the caserne will now be a breathing space in the heart of the city.
