In a visual dialogue with River Seine, the program of ilot 4E tackles the challenge of keeping development activities inside of the city center alongside being part of the urban development of Ivry Confluences. The action to warp the activities program in a shape of a “hill” allows a meandering public street in a spiral that also guides the implementation of building housing and offices. The principle of urban continuity is enhanced by a stair path and step esplanades which divide up the building blocks to allow more access.

As a contemporary Montmartre, this project highlights a mix-use program and the porosity of the urban block for the wider developmental project Ivry Confluences with the innovative architecture of “Montivry”.
