Fair Enough Apartments, The A1 plot is located in a very singular urban area, at the fringe of the ZAC des Provinces Françaises grid plan. It must be looked as a “triangular isle” with three faces conversing with their close surroundings.

The six-storey building acts as a figurehead in the neighborhood and creates a significant visual landmark in the wider landscape. The chamfer angles emphasize the kinetic effect created by the delicate shape of the building, guiding us towards the boulevard, or inside the plot.

All of the 43 apartments have an outdoor space, either a loggia or a terrace covered with a pergola.
