Notre Dame of Bon Secours, EHPAD and creche

Paris 14

Published in January 2015

Notre-Dame de Bon Secours is a housing complex in the 14th arrondissement. Resulting from the demolition of several building on that site, the construction project is divided in two phases.

One building, delivered in 2014, comprises the construction of a building to house a 98-bed residential care-home for the elderly (EHPAD) and a 64-place daycare, as well as a medical, psychological and pedagogical centre (CMPP) set up in an old renovated building, connected to the new construction. Phase two, due for completion in 2017, will see the construction of a nursing home for disabled patients (FAM) at the northern corner of the site, by the "Rue des Plantes".

The typology of the “thick building full of patios”, new to the site, allows to cater for modern day urban needs for densification while focusing on the new functions of the care units and especially on a high usage experience.

So that the two new buildings may be considered coherent and clear, while housing four different programmes, we have decided on a similar design and they follow the same principle: the ground floor is for access only; the first two floors are exclusively for housing units; the third floor offers large common terraces linked to the activity rooms; the fourth and fifth floor only contain rooms for the EHPAD. The basements are linked together by a logistic gallery.
