L’habitat soleil, Zac Clichy Batignolles à Paris

In the eco-dis­trict of ZAC Clichy-Batignolles, Loci Anima has desi­gned Habitat Soleil as an exem­plary res­ponse to the chal­lenges of a sus­tai­nable, inclu­sive, and gene­rous city. The pro­ject reflects a strong envi­ron­men­tal ambi­tion and a warm yet contem­po­rary archi­tec­tu­ral lan­guage.

The buil­ding is orga­ni­zed around a land­sca­ped cen­tral courtyard—a space for brea­thing, gathe­ring, and social connec­tion. The volumes are frag­men­ted to allow light and air to flow freely, offe­ring each dwel­ling mul­tiple orien­ta­tions, gene­rous bal­co­nies, and open views. The facade plays with sus­tai­nable mate­rials in soft tones, inte­gra­ting solar sha­ding sys­tems.

Habitat Soleil is also a human-cen­te­red pro­ject: it includes a variety of hou­sing types, sha­red spaces, a com­mu­nity room, and local ame­ni­ties. Architecture here becomes a faci­li­ta­tor of encoun­ters, col­lec­tive uses, and resident owner­ship.

With this pro­ject, Loci Anima expresses a clear convic­tion: to inha­bit the city is also to create a sense of toge­ther­ness, in har­mony with the envi­ron­ment, light, and eve­ry­day life.
