The first aspect we take into account is the geographical and urban context in which it is being built: ANGERS, in the Belle-Beille district

The context of Anjou includes a climate, a lifestyle and a specific economy. This anchoring must be kept in mind in order to go beyond the existing codes: we are building a project HERE AND NOT ELSEWHERE.

We adapt to lifestyles and to the climate in order to propose types and methods of building, and not the other way ’round.

Because our ambition as architect is as follows: to succeed in contextualising our entire design so that it becomes the natural extension of the needs and desires of the local population, whom the developer also wishes to attract.

Here, the challenge of a wood tower as an architectural solution in Angers is that of bringing together a territory undergoing urban renewal, a new method of construction, a new method of design and also a new way of living in and inhabiting the city.

Here, living in a tall building is an ambition in itself, with nature so easily accessible. The height itself must truly offer an exceptional living environment in order to stand up to the comparison.

Building an 11-storey tower on Angers in the Belle-Beille district using wood will also be an opportunity to share a new way of designing a residential building by explaining the adventure to the residents. By consulting with them and explaining the process we will succeed in responding as well as possible to the expectations of the population.

The ambition to live in an eleven-storey building built making maximum use of wood may seem economically difficult to achieve depending on how it is expressed.
