DESCRIPTION

The project consisted in the construction of a 60-bed seniors’ residence of category B2 with an area of 3,000 m² allocated on 5 floors.

The particularity of this project was its realization in winter conditions. The total construction period ranged from December 1 to July 1. The “total concept” construction system consisted only of precast concrete bearing panels, white colored concrete balconies, and the insulated precast concrete envelope that incorporated the brick.

Costs for winter conditions were limited and very low, since this system does not necessarily require heating during construction in cold weather.

Moreover, this building has been published in the INNO magazine because of its innovation in the field of concrete constructions.
