Nemausus

When he designed Nemausus in 1987, Jean Nouvel wanted to redefine social housing. The building was awarded the 'Patrimoine du 20ème siècle' (Twentieth century heritage) label in 2008.

The futuristic unit consisting of two imposing ocean liner-like buildings in aluminium, steel and glass totals 114 low-rent apartments that combine gains in space, comfort and light.
