BIARRITZ PARMEBiarritz, Francia

21 SOCIAL HOUSING UNITS
Biarritz Parme is an iconic modular residential project of 21 dwellings and a total built-up area of 1,300 m² built in Aquitaine, France. 520 m³ of timber were used altogether. The project was driven by the promoter L’Office 64 de l’Habitat and supervised by architects Phillipe Rabier and Lionel Gaetner. With a view to minimising the impact and inconveniences this kind of construction causes among neighbours, it was decided to erect the building in 2 blocks using factory assembled CLT modules. Each block of flats has a ground floor and a further 2 floors, consisting of 9 modular units each 3m wide and 10m long, likewise an entrance comprising a staircase and lift.
