The Dionysos residence aims to accommodate thirty-three social housing units tailored to the needs of an ageing population, as well as offices and business premises. It will provide fully adapted one-bedroom apartments for senior citizens. The architectural concept revolves around two axes. Firstly, an optimal "typical cell" with minimum circulation to maximise living space. Then, grouping all the cells around a communal area, with openings onto the landscape offering a dual orientation. Crowned with a tiled gable roof, they feature large balconies. The result is a dynamic, rhythmic facade, in contrast to the monotonous architecture of some residences.

The jury's opinion: "This project's ingenuity, which has its merits because it's a very tightly priced project, lies in the design of modular apartment cells, producing a very nice floor plan and varied facades when multiplied, as in a construction game.
