This project is located on the site of Marbrerie 13, in the heart of the PAV district, which is destined to disappear in the coming years. It aims to explore the possibilities of preserving and transforming the existing structure in order to adapt it to new uses and needs.

Today, ways of living are marked by increasing mobility, leading many people to settle temporarily in a city for a few days, a few months, or a year. They share a common condition: that of a provisional anchoring between two places of living.

This project focuses on this particular condition: how can temporary housing be designed to provide a feeling of “home”? Even for a limited period, inhabiting a place is not only about occupying a space, but also about being able to appropriate it, develop habits within it, and find a certain sense of stability.

The project therefore proposes forms of housing that reconcile intimacy, adaptability, and sociability. It accommodates three durations of occupation—day, month, and year—and envisions housing as a space for living and encounter, fostering the creation of social ties within a collective context.
