YOU, Lot YA, former Renault factory site, Paris, France
This weekend in Paris is the opening of YOU, Lot YA.
Within a dense urban fabric the architects created a robust bank building, with subtle recesses and a striking facade that interplays rhythms of bronze-coloured blades; blades that block sunlight while retaining views of the Seine.
The building site is located on a section of the old Renault factory site along the Seine in Paris. Situated right at the new park with great views on the Seine.
The architects were asked to make an office building on a plot which wasn’t ideal for officespace.
The building was to be perceived as a single clear volume. A front-row building at the park which connects to it’s surroundings.
The architects divided the volume horizontally according to the plotrules and the direct urban fabric and created setbacks for terraces.

The entrance is orientated on the park and connected with the public space and inner court.
The volume scales down to the size of the housing developments but still acts as a clear iconic volume.
The paradox of the site is the fact that Lot YA directly facing the park Billancourt is the sunniest part.
How to design a façade using maximum view to the park and at the same time blocks the direct radiation?
Using vertical blades we expand the view to the park Billancourt and the Seine and at the same time the direct sunlight is blocked. The facade is closing down in rhythm to the top blocking the sun.
