Architectural Renderings House-KOZ’s Green and Yellow Stacked Apartments for France

Koz Architecture’s newest project build with 28 colorful and airy social housing units for Courbevoie, France. The multihued complex was designed as a denser alternative to the widely spaced-out private homes of suburbia that would still allow occupants to feel a sense of ownership, individuality and escape from the hectic city.

Aside from being bright and cheery, the apartments offer a rainwater collection system, a green roof and loggias for residents to use as their own private greenhouse. The complex was originally conceived in response to Groupe 3F’s competition to design a residential complex that redefines single family social housing units on high density sites.

KOZ started out on their proposal by first identifying the four main things such as high user quality, walk-around accessibility, individuality and interaction with neighbors, that they felt were essential qualities of a single family residence, and then set out to adapt them to an apartment building.


KOZ incorporated a bonus room into every residence, giving each household even more flexibility and space. Every apartment faces outwards in three directions and every room has access to daylighting.

KOZ really wanted each residence to have that walk-around accessibility that houses in the suburbs have so they created individual walkways that actually wind around the apartments. Each walkway is fully accessible from the main rooms so that the dwellers can actually walk all the way around their home.

Plus, each house is hidden behind the forest of green rebars giving an airy feeling.In order to make each dwelling distinguishable from the others, KOZ designed them to all have different silhouettes. And while being friendly and interacting with fellow residents is usually a lot less common in apartment buildings, the layout of this complex actually encourages being social.
