QUARTIER GRANDMAISON

The Grandmaison neighborhood project in Trélazé is part of an urban renewal initiative located between the train station, the town center, and the Grand Parc des Ardoisières. It offers a highly landscaped setting structured around a central park, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and a central square that serves as an urban anchor.

The urban strategy is based on controlled densification, combining compact blocks with a variety of housing types (apartment buildings, townhouses, and clustered homes) to meet diverse and evolving residential needs. Landscape integration is central, with the preservation of existing trees, the creation of a structuring green axis incorporating swales and ponds, and the development of public spaces conducive to biodiversity and daily use.

The architecture adopts a bioclimatic approach prioritizing sunlight, natural ventilation, quality views, and energy efficiency, combined with a biomass heating system. The road network clearly distinguishes between main thoroughfares, secondary roads, and quiet alleys, promoting active transportation and the neighborhood’s legibility.

Finally, a shared central plaza serves as the neighborhood’s heart, featuring gathering spaces, play areas, amenities, and tree-lined pathways. Together, these elements form a sustainable, landscaped, and connected neighborhood that balances residential quality, environmental performance, and community roots.
