Mouzaïa 58-66

Canal Architecture

Mouzaïa 58-66 by Canal Architecture is a revitalising restoration project of 2 office buildings, one brutalist and one industrial, respectively of 1974 and 1923 in Paris, France. While the buildings were previously only used for offices, the conversion of 2020 provided an additional 288 housing units for students and young workers, artist workshops, co-working space and an emergency accommodation center, increasing the usable surface area to 10 500 m2. 
This project contributes to the social-ecological transformation by inserting itself into urban redevelopment, engaging with a community currently lacking options. Representing an area of nearly 6000m2, the 3 basement levels are an exceptional surface to host creation, exchange, solidarity and workshops open to the neighbourhood. For efficiency, passive methods and simple, tailored equipment are used: high-performance thermal envelope, condensing gas boiler, and heat recovery from wastewater with a heat pump to preheat hot water.
