Sustainable design architect Edouard François’s latest project changes the face of social housing in Paris. The project, Eden Bio, features terraced houses arranged along pedestrian alleys set within densely planted organic gardens. The upper level units will be reached by external timber gantries and staircases enclosed in greenery. The 100 social housing unit development will be completed in early 2008.
