Spiral staircase twists through Zellige apartment complex by Tectône and Tact Architectes

Zellige is a social housing complex in Nantes, France, designed in a collaboration between French architecture studios Tectône and Tact Architectes.

The 100-home housing project has been shortlisted for Dezeen Awards 2020 and won the public vote in its category.

Three volumes are clad in matching brick

Tectône and Tact Architectes arranged the apartment complex as three interlocking volumes clad in pale grey bricks.

The pair of studios won the competition to design the housing development for the future neighbourhood of Prairie au Duc in 2014.

The housing complex contains 100 new homes

Zellige is located on the île de Nantes, an island in the middle of Nantes. This post-industrial area was largely abandoned in the 1990s, and the project is part of a wider plan to rejuvenate the district.

"This project is very impacted by the fact that it combines three very different housing programs, social rents, co-housing and to-buy apartments," said Tectône.

"It has been a long and very interesting design process that included its future inhabitants in every part of it, through workshops, discussions and votes."

A spiral staircase twists up one side

Some 15 of the 100 homes will be co-housing, and the occupants had already been chosen before the design process began.

Taking on board the feedback of Zellige's eventual residents, the two practices included spaces and facilities such as common spaces and terraces, a communal workshop and wash house, a vegetable garden and a shared chicken coop.

Pale wood balustrades contrast with the grey bricks

These communal spaces are either on top of the shorter volumes or arranged in a central courtyard formed in between the U-shaped complex.

An external spiral staircase with wooden balustrades add flair to the facade and allows occupants views over the complex and of each other as they move up and down between floors.

The project is part of a plan to rejuvenate the island

The brick facade is uniform to tie the three volumes, which are four, six and twelve floors respectively, together.

As Nantes is in a seismic activity zone, Tectône and Tact Architectes worked with brick supplier Blockstar to develop anti-seismic brick technology.

Residents helped decide on the designs they wanted

Tectône, a studio based in Paris, previously designed housing blocks in the French capital wrapped in timber louvres.  Tact Architectes is based in Nantes.

More Dezeen Awards 2020 public vote winners include Thang House by Vo Trong Nghia Architects and No Footprint House in Costa Rica by A-01.

[wasnt-always-there]

Im gonna put all of these little memes/tumblr posts i inserted my OCs into here btw 🫶

[wasnt-always-there]

More of Damien

Hes so awesome and also pathetic

[wasnt-always-there]

A traditional drawing of my favorite little oc duo, Damien and Angie! I've already posted Angie here, but Damien is my main character :DD

Damien (he/him) is a friendless loser (/affectionate🫶) when the story begins, and has been for a while, but he finds Angie in an abandoned home from the 90's and uhhh things escalate from there, for better or for worse 👍

[wasnt-always-there]

Finished this like a week ago

In the background is a statue, which is being used as a vessel to spy on Damien and Angie by Enzo (the lore is complicated but im making a little explaination post soon because i love talking ab it sm rahh :DD)

In front of it is Angie, and Damien's jacket is blurred in the corner.

Angie and Damien are out "ghost-hunting" when Damien feels as if something's watching them. When asking if Angie feels the same, they at first avoid the question, but later, it becomes undeniable for both of them. When they see a statue's eyes move, they end up running away and talking by some old abandoned school lockers. Damien admits for the first time that he's starting to doubt his own skepticism.

Pale wood balustrades contrast with the grey bricks

These communal spaces are either on top of the shorter volumes or arranged in a central courtyard formed in between the U-shaped complex.

An external spiral staircase with wooden balustrades add flair to the facade and allows occupants views over the complex and of each other as they move up and down between floors.

The project is part of a plan to rejuvenate the island

The brick facade is uniform to tie the three volumes, which are four, six and twelve floors respectively, together.

As Nantes is in a seismic activity zone, Tectône and Tact Architectes worked with brick supplier Blockstar to develop anti-seismic brick technology.

Residents helped decide on the designs they wanted

Tectône, a studio based in Paris, previously designed housing blocks in the French capital wrapped in timber louvres.  Tact Architectes is based in Nantes.

Spiral staircase twists through Zellige apartment complex by Tectône and Tact Architectes

Zellige is a social housing complex in Nantes, France, designed in a collaboration between French architecture studios Tectône and Tact Architectes.

The 100-home housing project has been shortlisted for Dezeen Awards 2020 and won the public vote in its category.

Three volumes are clad in matching brick

Tectône and Tact Architectes arranged the apartment complex as three interlocking volumes clad in pale grey bricks.

The pair of studios won the competition to design the housing development for the future neighbourhood of Prairie au Duc in 2014.

The housing complex contains 100 new homes

Zellige is located on the île de Nantes, an island in the middle of Nantes. This post-industrial area was largely abandoned in the 1990s, and the project is part of a wider plan to rejuvenate the district.

"This project is very impacted by the fact that it combines three very different housing programs, social rents, co-housing and to-buy apartments," said Tectône.

"It has been a long and very interesting design process that included its future inhabitants in every part of it, through workshops, discussions and votes."

Some 15 of the 100 homes will be co-housing, and the occupants had already been chosen before the design process began.

Taking on board the feedback of Zellige's eventual residents, the two practices included spaces and facilities such as common spaces and terraces, a communal workshop and wash house, a vegetable garden and a shared chicken coop.

These communal spaces are either on top of the shorter volumes or arranged in a central courtyard formed in between the U-shaped complex.
