“Social housing, but grand,” the architect declared, gazing down Rue de l’Hermet. Rue de l’Hermet, nestled within Saint-Ouen, bears witness to this architectural ambition. It’s home to the Logements Anselme-l’Hermet, a social housing project challenging the very notion of affordable living spaces. Designed by the renowned Jean Nouvel, Rue de l’Hermet’s buildings stand as a testament to his vision: spacious, light-filled homes, a far cry from the cramped quarters often associated with social housing. Nouvel, driven by the belief that “a beautiful home is a large home,” pushed the boundaries of conventional design. He maximized space and minimized unnecessary flourishes. The result? Rue de l’Hermet boasts apartments 50% larger than the standard, all within regulated price limits. Rue de l’Hermet quietly challenges our perceptions of social housing, proving that elegance and affordability are not mutually exclusive.
