Energy-intensive building

The transformation of the Caserne de Reuilly, supported by Paris Habitat, stems from the desire to rehabilitate and densify this site, by responding to the need to change an existing heritage, to seize its intrinsic qualities and to open up this place to residents of the neighborhood. Nearly 600 rental units (social, intermediate and undecided) as well as a nursery, artists' studios and shops are organized around a public garden open to the district.

By taking advantage of the main characteristics of this military architecture, a new urban form has emerged. The mineral square has become both a public garden and a place of passage, facilitating access between rue de Reuilly and boulevard Diderot, between housing and business premises. The transformation of the site, driven by re-use objectives, is accompanied by an imperative to preserve and rehabilitate the existing ones, instilling new uses within a reprogrammed military complex.

This project is the result of a long collaborative effort between Paris Habitat, h2o architectes (for the coordination and project management of public spaces), and 6 international teams of architects: Lin-A and Camille Salomon (lot A ), Anyoji-Beltrando (lot B), Charles-Henri Tachon (lot B1), NP2F – OFFICE (lot C), Mir (lots D and F) and Lacroix-Chessex (lot F).

Lot A (Lin-A and Camille Salomon) includes the rehabilitation of the left wing of the barracks and the construction of three new buildings for the creation of 91 social housing units, the Paris Habitat guards' lodge, a residence of 129 student housing units managed by the CROUS, accommodation for the CROUS caretaker, 1,230 m² of shops and local services, with the installation of roofs accessible and operated by the Quartier maraîcher association.
This lot, particularly dense and representative of the specificities specific to the overall operation carried out on the site of the Reuilly barracks, is used as a reference for this case study to deal with energy, environment and circular economy issues in housing spaces. Public spaces are also treated to show the possibilities of resorting to the reuse of materials in different contexts and at different scales.

Urban environment

  • 4 800,00
  • The development of a public garden within the Reuilly barracks is part of the larger project to transform and densify the site. This new public space participates in the opening of the former military site towards the district, stretching to the feet of the housing in a continuity between landscape and architecture. By opening up the former 'place d'armes' to its environment, the urban and landscaping allows to regain permeability with the city, but also to revitalize the ground floors on the street, occupied by shops or business premises. The barracks becomes a place open to the neighborhood, visited and crossed by a large public. The mineral plots created on the three lanes bordering the plot open access to the central garden. Their mineral treatment in reused pavers incorporates grassed joints and planted or existing trees. Very wooded, the public garden continues this pavement to promote crossing routes. Its undulations on the ground create a shifting topography that multiplies the uses and puts the accommodation on the ground floor, equipped with planted valleys, at a distance. A continuum of grass, flowers and scents accommodates a diversity of uses and audiences. The programming of the garden has been refined with local residents and future residents, with tailor-made seats, games for children and vegetable garden areas.

    PLUMBING PACKAGE - CAST IRON RADIATORS

    • TRACEABILITY

    Origin of the lot: all the existing buildings of the Reuilly barracks

    Cleaning work: ATD

    Reconditioning work: RADIASTYLE

    The removed radiators were returned to the site after being transported to the company specialising in the reconfiguration of cast iron radiators, which was responsible for storage in the workshop and delivery to the site after reconditioning.

    Area of use: plumbing.

    • DETAILS ON MATERIALS

    Re-use action: reconditioning, stripping, repainting, checking for leaks, fitting, adding legs and fixings, calculating conversion (high temperature > low temperature) for the dimensioning of energy needs.

    • COST

    302 euros / radiator, including installation.

    This is significantly cheaper than buying a new or second-hand cast iron radiator. This is still a competitive price for equipment that is popular for its environmental and aesthetic qualities.

    • TRACEABILITY

    Origin of the lot: existing LOT A building of the Reuilly barracks

    Cleaning work: ATD

    Reconditioning work: SICRA

    The cupboards were removed and stored on site for the duration of the work. A carpentry workshop was set up in the commercial shell to take over the surface treatment and carry out the inventory. The cupboards were installed by the joinery company, which proposed the new guidance system.

    Field of use: interior joinery

    • DETAILS ON MATERIALS

    Re-use action: inventory, hand stripping (sanding) of door surfaces, finishing varnish. Creation of a new wooden frame in MDF and implementation of a new sliding guide system (rollers + rails). Interior fitting of new cupboards.

    • COST

    Average cost: 137 euros / door or 1270 euros per set of cupboards.

     

    INTERIOR FURNITURE - HPL PANELS (High Pressure Laminate)

    • TRACEABILITY :

    Cleaning work: ATD

    Reconditioning work: RONDY FORESTIER

    The furniture (stools and high tables) was delivered and assembled on site.

    12 stools

    8 high worktops 

    4 desk tops

    18 panels donated to Zero Waste

    Area of use: Interior joinery.

    • DETAILS ON THE MATERIALS

    The panels were used to make furniture for the common areas of the CROUS student residence, stools and high tables.

    Addition of a locksmithing batch to make the table bases.

    • COST

    Cost of a stool: 75 euros per seat

     

    EXTERNAL FITTINGS LOT - PAVEMENTS

Reasons for participating in the competition(s)

All of the operations carried out for the rehabilitation of the former Reuilly barracks – creation of housing, business premises and development of public spaces – respond to the desire to offer a second life to the existing. By fitting into the plan drawn by the buildings erected in 1847, our project makes it possible to preserve a trace of successive urban developments, but also to reintegrate certain elements, materials and plants present on site - punctually adapted or transformed to serve new uses. Before reusing, we seek to preserve, to show, expose and keep the essence of a context invested with new meaning through reprogramming.
