We need to make the student housing (hall of residence) as a unity and that was a priority : The apartments should be an important piece of the urban development and a homogeneous proposal connecting the biggest facilities of the campus and the relationship with the landscape grid of Saclay,as well.

The proposal consist in occupying the site’s boundary , shaped the boundary between public open space and the inner garden area.

The perimeter building that withdraws itself it is showed in the territorial scale as a “interface” between  inside and outside. Some other elements like porchs, common terraces, and passages, build permeable and relationship spaces between public areas and the inner garden.

It is inside the garden where this urban shape get’s all of its sense and become as a protected skin to the students activities even to the closer residents. It is from this place where the different types of dwellings can be recognized.
