An Innovative Architectural and Landscape Design by Arte Charpentier
Responsible for the architectural, landscape, and interior design of this residence, Arte Charpentier is applying its expertise to create a space that is harmonious, welcoming, and stimulating. Located in Lomme, this 18,000 m² residence will be ready by summer 2026 and will offer 800 beds along with 2,100 m² of shared spaces designed to foster interaction and community living. Created to encourage creativity, innovation, and social connection, these spaces will include coworking areas, fitness rooms, a cinema, and much more.
“This large-scale project embodies our commitment to creating living environments adapted to modern lifestyles and respectful of the environment,” emphasized Jérôme Le Gall, Associate Architect at Arte Charpentier, during the event.
