Laubis Housing
The architectural design concerning the development of 79 housing units within an eco-neighbourhood promotes a holistic approach towards sustainable urban living. Positioned in Seilh, Toulouse, the project aims to meet the ambitious targets outlined in the RE2025 E3C1 initiative, focusing on eco-friendly construction practices and energy efficiency, while simultaneously fostering social diversity through a mix of market-rate, controlled-price, and social housing units.
The inclusion of 2,000 square metres of commercial space further enhances the economic vitality of the neighbourhood, facilitating residents’ access to essential amenities. Architecturally, the project embodies principles of sustainability and innovation, striving to attain certifications such as NF Habitat HQE Excellent, Effinature Construction, and BDO Argent.
The ethos of the project is driven by its commitment to seamlessly integrate within its surroundings. Drawing inspiration from Seilh’s urban and landscape features, notably the Sarrasins towers and the main stream, the design seeks to celebrate and incorporate these emblematic elements. Various thematic strands, encompassing urban design, mobility, and technical innovation, are blended around a an idea of unity whilst preserving architectural diversity.
Thoughtful consideration is given to the outdoor spaces, with intermediate balconies which control with passive energy strategies the interior temperature. By incorporating a continuous green corridor at the heart of each neighbourhood and embracing organic geometries, the project aligns with principles of enhancing residents’ quality of life, community cohesion and promoting well-being.
