Living on the car park
The Dock-1 building site on the Rhine Canal (Petit Rhin) marks the start of the redevelopment of the "Citadelle" harbour district. The mixed-use project with 83 flats on a multi-storey car park interweaves various functions and creates a communicative place around mobility-related spaces.
Visible from afar, from the Parc de la Citadelle to the Vauban Bridge, the building blends into the urban context and characterises its identity as an "eco-district". Situated between the two harbour basins, Dock-1 is an atmospheric place with a strong identity and a direct connection to the city and water – ideal conditions for a high quality of living and a new form of urbanity.
The powerful large form makes a strong gesture to both sides. A five-storey multi-storey car park is stretched between two cross-shaped, elegantly balanced residential towers, above which are further flats with shared, spacious terraces on both long sides. The centre of the project is a high hall on the ground floor, designed as a pedestrian gallery, which can be used for a variety of purposes.
New mobility
A mobility platform with 432 parking spaces, as well as other services such as car and bike sharing, meets the different needs of residents and promotes an environmentally friendly lifestyle.
The ZAC Deux-Rives is the largest development project in Strasbourg since the construction of the Neustadt between 1871 and 1918, with the aim of redesigning the Strasbourg-Kehl axis and realising a cross-border two-shore metropolis. Our Dock-1 project is located in the Citadelle neighbourhood.
Good prospects for sustainable uses
All residents benefit from the outstanding views of the city, the river, the Vosges mountains and the Black Forest. The flexible room programme can be adapted to changes in use at any time. Sustainable materials such as wood and brick, communal terraces on the car park and loggias with attractive views as well as a variety of meeting opportunities create a liveable environment for all users.
