"The project is located on a plot of land in a neighbourhood marked by vertical urbanisation from the Porte d'Ivry to the Porte d'Italie. We chose to keep the existing building, the former conservatory of the 13th arrondissement, and we proposed a densification of the plot by raising the height. The three elevated levels are built using an extremely innovative process, a dry construction off-site using wooden structure modules. We designed all the interior spaces so that they could be scalable, versatile, modular and very robust. We also kept many structural elements of raw concrete. In contrast, the student residence was designed with great precision and all the accommodation is furnished. On the roof of the existing building we proposed a shared garden terrace that links the facilities and the accommodation. The fact that we have kept a very simple expression with an economy of means and materials left visible has led to the creation of an extremely virtuous operation from an environmental point of view. "Pablo Katz, architect - SAS Relais d'Italie
