Rule of Apartment
a. Entrance

Source: The Good Solutions Guide for Apartments

Apartment Layout: Examples
Source: The Good Solutions Guide for Apartments

Building main entrances should be visible and easily identifiable from the street and
directly accessible from street level.
Building entrances should provide pedestrian shelter.
Apartments at street level should have a street address and the number that have a
front door directly accessible from the street should be maximized
For mixed use developments in Area A, separate pedestrian entrances should be
provided for residential activities (mixed uses are not permitted in Areas B and C)
5

Mailboxes should be easily accessible for mail delivery from the exterior of the
building, and secure and conveniently accessible to residents from within the foyer,
without obstructing access to lifts, stairs, or impeding general circulation.

b. Vertical access

Source: Good Solutions Guide for Apartments

Where practicable, vertical circulations cores should be expressed on at least one
exterior face of the building. This provides natural light within and outlook from the
foyers and reduces energy consumption. Foyers so located also provide casual
surveillance of the street and assist in varying the faade and reducing the scale of a
long building.
Stairs should be easily accessible and inviting, to encourage residents to use stairs
in preference to lifts. This promotes healthy exercise and assists sustainability.
A mix of single, corner and dual aspect apartments may be accommodated on a
single floor, allowing a diversity of plans and avoiding long corridors.

c. Horizontal access

Vertical Access
Source: The Good Solutions Guide for Apartments

Where horizontal access is unavoidable, it should preferably be based upon a single

loaded corridor or a skipstop corridor.1 Double loaded internal corridors make cross
ventilation of apartments difficult and the corridors themselves require artificial
lighting and ventilation
If a double loaded corridor cannot be avoided, the corridor should be oriented north
south so that there are no solely south facing apartments.
Access corridor should be short, wide and have windows at each end to provide
natural light and ventilation.
Exterior horizontal access should be designed to provide visual and acoustic privacy
for apartment rooms adjacent to the access space. This can be achieved with extra
wide access balconies or by pulling the balcony away for the exterior face of the
apartment and providing bridges to the entry doors.

Theme implementation
a. Sustainable Architecture
Basket Apartments

The building is energy efficient to accommodate the desires of Paris sustainable

development efforts. The Plan Climates goal is that future housing will consume 50KWh.m. or less. The objectives of energy performance and the construction timetable were
met by focusing on a simple, well insulated and ventilated object that functions at its best
year round. Accommodations are cross ventilating and allow abundant day lighting
throughout the apartment. External corridors and glass staircases also promote natural
lighting in the common circulation, affording energy while also creating comfortable and
well lit social spaces. The building is insulated from the outside with an insulation thickness
of 20 cm. Thermal bridge breakers are used on corridor floors and balconies to avoid
thermal bridges. Ventilation is controlled by double flow mechanical ventilation, providing
clean air in every apartment with an optimum temperature throughout the year. The
incoming air also reuses heat from the exhaust air. The roof is covered with 300m of
photovoltaic panels to generate electricity. Rainwater is harvested on site in a basin pool
used for watering outdoor green spaces.

The project is located on a long and very narrow site, on the edge of Parc La Vilette in
Pariss 19th district, within an urban development done by Reichen & Robert architects. On
the northeast, new Paris tram route is passing along the site. The site is bordering with
tram garage on the southwest, above which is a football field. The first 3 floors of the
housing will inevitably share the wall with the tram garage.

Role of social/behavior

Recognizing neighbourhood built character, natural landforms and landscape

features. When developing in existing neighbour hoods it is important to identify and
preserve heritage qualities and other signif i cant local characteristics. House designs
should reflect these qualities, and can be contemporary or resemble traditional styles. As
much as possible, design buildings to "fit" with the local land forms and features of the

natural landscape. Where possible keep existing mature trees and special land form
