Zellige

The Zellige housing project, located in Nantes, France, is a collaborative effort between tectōne and tact architecture studios. The project comprises 100 apartments, including 15 co-housing units, and is situated on the île de Nantes, an area that was largely abandoned in the 1990s and is now undergoing revitalization. The design focuses on creating shared spaces and promoting community interaction, with features such as a communal workshop, laundry room, vegetable garden, and chicken coop. The building's facade is clad in pale grey bricks, and an external spiral staircase adds a unique touch. The project combines social rents, co-housing, and to-buy apartments, with a focus on sustainability and durability. It was completed in 2020 and has been shortlisted for the Dezeen Awards 2020.
