Outstanding project from Fedimmo, the ‘Paradis Express’ creates a completely new approach to a participative conception in partnership with professional experts and public authorities.
By creating a new piece of a changing city, including public amenities, shops, offices, and 160 apartments, this new eco-neighbourhood will revitalize the centre of the town, linking the train station to the border of the Meuse river.
The project offers an innovative view of sustainable design, creating synergies between the buildings and their ecological environment, applying simple techniques to achieve nearly zero energy building, linking multigenerational activities, and opening new green spaces to the public.
