Saint-Vincentde-PaulEN

The location

Urban design

The future Saint-Vincent-de-Paul neighbourhood is located on a centuries-old site,a former novitiate transformed into apaediatric and maternity hospital, whichclosed in 2012. Halfway between theDenfert-Rochereau and Port Royal transporthubs, the exceptional setting is situatedin the heart of the 14th arrondissement,bordered by convent gardens, the Paris
Observatory and the Cartier Foundation,a leading contemporary art museum.

As urban project manager, the Anyoji
Beltrando agency must strike a harmonious
balance between the construction of thefour contemporary blocks and the preservation of 60 % of the site's historic buildings,
including their distinctive cours anglaises,or sunken courtyards. The structures andsurrounding landscape will be organised
around a central intersection with 4,000 m2of green space.

The programme
The mixed-use neighbourhood will coverroughly 3.4 ha and include housing, public
and private amenities, shops and businesses. Of the 60,000 m2 of building floorarea, some 43,000 m2 will be dedicatedto housing, including 50% social, 30%
open market and 20% capped-rent.
A shared flexible-use facility covering
5,000 m² will host a crèche, school
and gymnasium. The appeal of the locationis enhanced by 7,500 m² of businesses
and shops and a private space for culturaland creative activities.

Environmental
requirements?
The aim of zero carbon, zero waste andzero discharge results in sustainable urban
planning that involves transforming thebuilding, reusing materials and managingresources. The project aims to achieve
the high standard of energy efficiency set
by the Passivhaus method. The strategy
is based on heat recovery from the nonpotable water network of Paris, supplemented by the CPCU (Paris Urban HeatingCompany), aiming for 100% renewableenergy by 2050.

14th arrondissement

The former Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital complex
had a positive and inclusive reputation among Parisians
even before a plan was developed to convert it into a
new neighbourhood. Between 2012 and 2017, Les Grands
Voisins have used the site for a number of temporary,cooperative, inclusive and creative initiatives. Since 2017,
Paris & Métropole Aménagement (formerly Paris BatignollesAménagement), the public company owned by the cityof Paris, has undertaken the transformation of this site,
without departing from the pioneering, sustainable andcreative identity that gives it its character.

planning collaborative
The Saint-Vincent-de-Paul project relies heavily onusership, in addition to professional expertise. Futureusers of the neighbourhood are involved in designing
the various programmes and in planning for the mannerin which it will be managed. This approach is particularly pertinent with regard to the « commons », orcollective spaces shared by the neighbourhood or by
a given block or building. The success of the commons
will depend in large part on input from users earlyin the process. All ongoing or upcoming consultation andtendering processes will take this usership approach.

Denfert➀	Façade
March–December 2019
The future Façade Denfert combines
historic elements (Oratoire and Robinbuildings from the XVIIth and XIXth centuries)
with the contemporary Denfert Block.
The complex forms the development’s
façade, entrance and street address
on Avenue Denfert-Rochereau. P&Ma andthe City of Paris envision the façade
as a unique feature, acting as a symbolof the future development and an influenceon the city at large. It is the subject of two
simultaneous tendering processes.

Denfert Block
The tendering process will focus primarily on the construction
and operation of a large, private facility for public use.
The facility, dedicated to creative activities, is to becomea new metropolitan destination steeped in the culturaland artistic tradition of the Montparnasse district. The block
will also comprise 1,000 m² of open-market housing
as well as an alternative transport hub.

Oratoire and Robin buildings
The tendering process will focus on building capped-rent andopen-market housing in a historic complex, bordering the Robinpublic courtyard and the Oratoire private courtyard, which
is open to the public and classified as a protected green space.
The programme also includes 1,200 m² of shops and businesses
mainly located around the Robin courtyard.

June 2018 – September 2019
Four developers with their project management
teams were selected in the initial phase ofa tendering process launched in June 2018.
Project requirements include those pertaining
to architectural quality as well as the proposed
methodology to comply with « triple zero »commitments and develop a modern housing
solution capable of meeting a variety of needs,
anticipating the evolution of lifestyles andencouraging residents’ involvement in the design
and management of the building.

Meanwhile, three social and capped-rent housing
programmes, meeting the same environmental
and participatory requirements, are being entrusted
to social housing providers.

August 2018–December 2019
A consultation of project management teams
is under way to convert the former Pinard maternity
hospital into a public facility incorporating a crèche,a primary school and a gymnasium. The facility’s
design should be conducive to shared use by
the three services and to partial public accessduring off hours. The three project management
teams selected will submit their final offer in theautumn of 2019.

Public facilities (see Pinard section above)➄ Coordination workshops
The schedule of tendering and consultation processes builds in time for coordination workshops to be held
for all of the projects. Already tested on the Clichy-Batignolles development, these workshops bring
together all of the parties involved (designers, project owners, project initiators, property managers,
City of Paris, etc.) so that they can fine-tune the project in a variety of aspects, including cohesivearchitectural design, the relationship to public spaces, handling of business premises, how to structure
the commons, etc.

Fertile groundThe current direction of the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul development
processes is due both to the new operating methods
launched by the City of Paris with calls for innovative proposals
and to the preliminary phases of temporary occupancy
and early groundwork. The phases are aimed, in particular,
at building commons where users can connect to the public
aspects of the project, as well as to the spaces and amenities.

Two successive phases of investment in thepremises (2012–2015, 2015–2017) were organised
owing to the joint investment of the Auroreand Yes We Camp associations and the Plateau
Urbain cooperative at Les Grands Voisins. Les
Grands Voisins developed and oversaw the site’stransformation into a welcoming live-work space.
This « common goods factory » has explored new
approaches to city living that are more inclusive,
sustainable and convivial ; cinema, fitness
trails, international cuisine, cultural gatherings,
markets, etc., have been fixtures of life here,
extending a revitalising influence well beyond
the development’s boundaries. The space has
become an attraction unto itself. A second earlygroundwork phase (2018–2020) with a reduced
scope was launched in close consultation with
the City of Paris, the 14th Arrondissement City
Hall and the planning authority.
