For this project, Alexis PERROCHEAU, current partner at TELLU, was the project manager at Estudi Marti Franch. He followed and developed the project from the APS phase to the DCE phase. Marti FRANCH, the director of EMF also followed this project with Alexis PERROCHEAU.

The Landscape project for lot A12 and A10 of the ZAC Laubis is developed in a rural and naturalistic spirit, highlighting the necessary ecological values in a context of climate change and biodiversity crisis. The emphasis is therefore placed on plants in order to promote botanical diversity, limit regular maintenance and give way to natural dynamics for better integration into the local landscape. The whole creates different atmospheres in a restricted space and this, for everyone. This project therefore enters into a sustainable dynamic allowing access to the "Effinature" certification.

​

Lot A10 is divided into 3 parts: the North part with a limited frontage band, a common central part and a South part with a more generous frontage band. To be able to plant trees above the future parking lot of the residence, 60 to 80 cm high hill will be created and will give an additional scale to the gardens.

The 3 parts will be linked by a tree and shrub cover. Trees are native species and mainly fruit-bearing, allowing them to bring fruits during the seasons with apples, pears, or cherries for example. Moreover, on the south frontage strip, a large linden tree will be planted in addition to the other trees to promote shading on the building’s facade. Under its first two strata, which provide the necessary shade to the gardens and give them a rhythm, there are 3 types of vegetation constructing the space. Giving intimacy between each dwelling by creating thresholds while providing additional topography to all the parts, this classification gives a wave effect that can resemble the movement of water. Indeed, the design of the central courtyard develops from West to East like a branch of a vegetable river trying to join the Garonne.
