A thorough site potential study was conducted, requiring precise management of technical issues related to excavation. Though deep, the narrow parcel required a tailored approach to avoid a monolithic block and instead provide superior living conditions. &#8220;In the city, you can&#8217;t just demolish,&#8221; adds the owner. &#8220;You need to propose a meaningful replacement. In our borough, there are constraints. We had to build a party wall, fully use the site, and create at least two separate addresses. The simplest thing would have been to build a classic duplex, but we wanted to take this opportunity to create something meaningful for us and others &#8220;.

Everyone enjoys privacy, but there are plenty of opportunities to connect&#8221;.\u00a0The architecture is inspired by the area&#8217;s industrial past, where former manufacturing sites have been converted into residences and artists&#8217; studios, shaping a distinctive urban identity. Le Bin\u00f4me follows this legacy with reinterpretations of local architectural hallmarks: red brick, generous windows reminiscent of industrial workshops, and brick colonnades echoing the old Pasteur Hospital, now a residential facility.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"js-image-size__link lazy-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030979\/binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture\/68430c133524c6542b751568-binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture-photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"BIN\u00d4ME Multi-residence \/ APPAREIL architecture  - Image 18 of 32\" data-nr-picture-id=\"68430c133524c6542b751568\" height=\"427\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=\"lazy\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030979\/binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture\/68430c133524c6542b751568-binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture-photo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture_27.jpg\" width=\"640\"\/>\u00a9 F\u00e9lix Michaud<\/a><a class=\"js-image-size__link lazy-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030979\/binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture\/68430c15c985fd5f4a44b102-binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture-plan-basement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"BIN\u00d4ME Multi-residence \/ APPAREIL architecture  - Image 29 of 32\" data-nr-picture-id=\"68430c15c985fd5f4a44b102\" height=\"427\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=\"lazy\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030979\/binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture\/68430c15c985fd5f4a44b102-binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture-plan-basement\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/lebinome-sous-sol-appareilarchitecture-4.jpg\" width=\"640\"\/>Plan &#8211; Basement<\/a><a class=\"js-image-size__link lazy-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030979\/binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture\/68430c14c985fd5f4a44b0fe-binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture-photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"BIN\u00d4ME Multi-residence \/ APPAREIL architecture  - Interior Photography, Wood\" data-nr-picture-id=\"68430c14c985fd5f4a44b0fe\" height=\"427\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=\"lazy\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030979\/binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture\/68430c14c985fd5f4a44b0fe-binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture-photo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1749491655_436_binome-multi-residence-appareil-architecture_26.jpg\" width=\"640\"\/>\u00a9 F\u00e9lix Michaud<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The fa\u00e7ade plays a pivotal role in integrating the project into its surroundings.
