Designed to accommodate athletes and technical staff for the world’s biggest sporting event, the Paris 2024 Olympic Village has one of its buildings designed by Triptyque. Built on a 52-hectare site, previously made up of industries, the complex of buildings is intended to accommodate living and working spaces that will go beyond the Olympic Games.

As well as meeting the residential needs of the neighborhood where it is located, the project presents the identity and appeal of this developing area, so that it becomes the forerunner of a new way of “living the city”. With ecological corridors, the blocks of buildings will be connected to each other, all the way to the banks of the Seine.

During the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the area will house 14,000 people, including athletes and technical staff, but in September it will be put to a new use. After another phase of work, in which the buildings will be renovated, a neighborhood will be created with residential, commercial and public spaces. To preserve biodiversity and natural and energy resources, Triptyque applied solutions such as installing an active roof, controlling carbon impact, preserving the biochemical quality of the soil and using water for urban cooling. The main façade of the building forms a square with the Cité du Cinéma, a space that stands out, making the whole complex recognizable. Organized around a mixed-use core, it connects the programs – offices and residences – brought together in the same continuity.
