Located on an emblematic terrain at the north entrance to the Zac Ovalie in Montpellier, the project enjoys great visibility thanks to the wide views afforded by the forecourt of the Yves du Manoir stadium in the north and the presence of a protected wooded area.

The presence of a large urban window in the body of the building brings the following qualities to the residential complex:
– A change of scale to respond to the large and clear public space leading to the stadium
– A strong visual link between the north and south areas.
– The multiplication of views and orientations of each dwelling located on either side of the large window.

The whole of the residence rests on a base including shops located on the north side and town houses on the south side. This base, of a considerable thickness, is crossed by a passage, and gives the whole a more domestic scale.
