Ilot Caravane brings people from different backgrounds and generations who have decided to live together to share in an architectural adventure. MVRDV responded to a competition seeking imaginative designs for this co-housing project on a triangular plot located at the corner of rue Gasnier-Guy and rue Sorbier in the twentieth arrondissement of Paris.
Our response to the request is a building designed as a "Vertical Village" conciliating the dream everyone has to live in a house and enjoy the benefits of communal living.
Thus, we designed and developed tailor-made housing units for each family, and stacked them on the plot. The gaps become shared public areas where every community member has a place and where activities are shared.
The project hides nothing and reveals the spirit of community in its architecture. Each home has its own unique identity, a strong housing typology, and is identifiable by its shape and colour.
