The IAA Academician Dominique Perrault has created the new masterplan and design for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic village, which includes over 2,400 housing units for athletes. The projects spans over 119,000 square meters and also contains offices. The village has a good transportation network – making it easy to reach either by car or public transport.
Located in Seine-Saint-Denis district, the project features a series of open blocks organized around views that are also oriented towards the Seine River. The village plan was designed as a garden city with parkways that spread throughout the plan and are integrated with the landscape. Pathways, terraces and promenades through the housing and along the riverside are also included.
The village will open in 2020 and the first competition will take place in Autumn 2023. Following the end of the Olympic Games, the units will welcome tenants as of 2025.
