EHPAD BELLEVILLE
Restructuring and extension of the Sara Weil-Raynal EHPAD, a nursing home in Paris Paris / France / 2021
The incompatibility of the current building with its function and the lack of clarity of its urban environment made us think the present project as a solution to regain coherence on several levels.
First of all, by rethinking the spaces, with the purpose of readapting them as well as possible to the new needs of the program, in order to place the resident and their well-being in the midst of the preoccupation.
Second of all, the project aims to bring an architectural coherence to rue Pelleport by seeking alignment with the building located at number 178 and by reaffirming the private condition of the strip of land currently located between the property line and the alignment of the nursery home façade. The designers also sought to establish a new dialogue with the neighbouring buildings, notably through the use of a material already present on this street and which contributes to its identity: brick.
The street front of the current building is set back from the actual alignment of rue Pelleport. This situation contributes to the general lack of clarity of this alignment and creates a 2.20m wide strip with ambiguous private/public status. By thickening the building on the street side up to the property line, the project gives an alignment of the façade of the nursery home with the adjoining building, from the first floor to R+4. Its volume is increased to the maximum of the possibilities offered by the local urban plan. This provision makes possible the creation of approximately 460m2 additional space necessary to achieve the objectives of the program. It should be noted that the envelope template defined by the PLU imposes two successive recesses at R+5 and R+6.
This extension has its own structural system and its own foundations. It does not overload the existing structure.
