Plaines&du&Loup Residential Building / Costea Missonnier Architectes

The volume forms the northwest corner of an urban block, taking advantage of multiple orientations. On the ground floor level, the building provides a passageway linking the street and the courtyard. This covered space forms a threshold between the public space and the privacy of the apartments. It is a place where neighbors can meet, park their bicycles, check their mailboxes, and access the building's entrance hall.
