Figure 56) - Front view of the building Former Parisian railway station turned into housing and live-work units. Moussafir Architects and Nicolas Hugoo Architecture have created two residential towers connected by a podium containing live-work units as part of the La Chapelle International development in northern Paris. Built on a former railway station in Paris's 18th arrondissement in the northeast of the city, the development occupies a city block. Moussafir Architects and Nicolas Hugoo Architecture each designed a timber, glass and concrete tower containing 105 townhouse-style apartments at either end of the development. In response to the master plan for the sevenhectare La Chapelle International development, which called for a uniform podium forming a base for two towers, 18 small live-work spaces clad in gridded-metal cladding were placed between the two towers.
