Triptyque's latest project, the Universeine building at the Olympic and Paralympic Village in Saint-Denis, Paris, will house 450 athletes during the 2024 Summer Games and later transition into social housing. The project signifies an evolution of the area from a historically industrial zone to a sustainable, inclusive neighborhood. Its architectural design focuses on reversibility and mixed-use functionality, optimizing light and ventilation. The prominent façade interacts with public space, forming an urban landmark that enhances the community fabric while fostering connection to nature and surroundings.
The idea was not to create an athletes' village, but a new neighborhood for the city, promoting change in less favored areas.
The architectural approach of the project addresses two crucial contemporary challenges: reversibility and mixed-use functionality.
The building will be transformed into social housing after the Games, contributing to a vibrant neighborhood in northern Paris.
The main façade of the building forms a public square with the Cinéma, creating a visually recognizable urban landmark.
