The Bourg de Bègles - Social housing in the South of Bordeaux
The image of social housing is often the same. Areas that like to be avoided, towers, bars, mostly strangers to their surroundings.
LeBourg's concept is to create a dense, livable and lively neighborhood. The emphasis is on the public space, the rooftop gardens, the Maison Quartier and the small squares. Apartments are generally kept to a minimum in order to allow as many people in need as possible to be offered a roof over their heads.
Architecturally, the area is divided into four types of buildings to welcome everyone from refugees to families. Variable residential typologies with numerous expansion options allow a multitude of experiences.
LeBourg de Bègles is a concept of lively social interaction, with the idea of offering everyone a Heimat.
