SOA completed the Emmaus Clignancourt project within a Haussmannian super block dating from the 1880s. The design offers a contemporary interpretation of Haussmannian principles, favoring stripped-down forms and a humbler expression of classical elegance. The project preserves the block's urban continuity while reinterpreting proportions, facades, and ornamentation with restrained materials and detailing. The approach balances historical reference with modern living requirements, prioritizing clarity, modesty, and integration into the existing grain. The result reads as a refined, contemporary counterpart to traditional Haussmannian housing rather than a literal reproduction.
