ZAC Clichy – Batignolles Masterplan, Paris, France

13 Aug 2012 – Brisac Gonzalez with Paris based Antoine Regnault Architecture have won first prize in a shortlisted competition for a mixed use complex in the ZAC Clichy – Batignolles masterplan development in the 17th Arrondissement of Paris. The project comprises 150 social housing units, a 3,200m2 sport centre, a 3,600m2 school, and retail space. There are also two underground levels of parking. The client Paris Habitat – OPH, stipulated the participation of two architects per team for the 18,300m2, 36 million Euro project. Brisac Gonzalez is the lead consultant and will be responsible for all the amenities with the exception of the housing, which will be split between the two architects.

Three other teams, Tania Concko / S333, Xaveer de Geyter / Muoto Studio, and Michel Guthmann / Charles Henri Tachon, were shortlisted following an OJEU announcement to participate in the ‘esquisse légère’ (sketch ) competition. The jury was impressed by the flexible strategy of the winning proposal within a tight site.

The site is the first of six to be developed in the western sector of the Batignolles masterplan, where more than 100 00m2 of new construction is planned. A series of design workshops are planned for the next six months with the participation of eleven teams that will be responsible for the designs of the five other sites. Construction will begin in June 2013.
