stéphane malka positions modular housing units on rooftops in paris

discovering ways of gaining new perspectives of the city, stéphane malka architecture have designed a housing intervention in paris which effectively works with existing buildings.

named ‘3box’, the units are suspended and raised in between two buildings on a corner plot. the modular structures are rectangular in shape and subtly highlights the contrast between old and new, while developed with sustainable technologies and topped with a green roof.

‘we were able to propose green housing 40% below the real estate market price, built without any nuisance in workshops, in an extremely short time thanks to our patented panels and unique technique of prefabrication. these patents were achieved in collaboration with a team of engineers and specialists from les toits du monde‘ comments stéphane malka

composed of three units rising on top of each other, this method of urban intervention uses the ‘gaps’ and vacant spaces in between the city’s architecture. the scheme has proven to be cost-effective and ecological, working against the increasing problem of urban sprawl, and ultimately providing a contemporary method of viewing paris above the horizon.
