Unité d'Habitation, Nantes-Rezé, France - Le Corbusier 1950-1955
We are not dealing here with an experimental government building, but with a commission direct from the future occupants of the building, who form the society "The Family House" in Nantes. The members are labourers and foremen, the majority of whom are employed at the port. The cost is strictly controlled by the law of "Habitations à Bon Marché". Economy must be strictly observed. The Unité d'Habitation Nantes-Rezé benefits from the experience gained at Marseilles. It is similar in principle but differs in the mode of execution and has certain innovations, Four columns and not two now support the width of the raised concrete raft on which the block stands. There is perhaps a loss of plasticity and elegance; but this does not imply any degradation. The communal services half way up the building have unfortunately had to be done away with, as the economy of the budget, or of the law, intervened to modify the conception. The value of the Unité d'Habitation lies in its services; here they are independent at the foot of the building, in a town centre. The building contains a school at the top level, but there is no multi purpose area on the roof.
The building of the Unité Nantes-Rezé contains 294 units, but is smaller than the Unite Marseille, measures 105,70 meters long, 19.03 m wide and 51.80 m tall. It has 6 interior streets handing out access to the apartments. Due to the modifications made to reduce costs, projected the two types of apartment, one of two levels and another single. The grid used for the units in the Unité de Marseille was 4.19 m, but in Nantes the grid was modified to reach 3.66 m. Columns were used from the first level to the last, with the walls of the units in between. This means that the structural system is different from the Unité Marseille, where the units have its own structure, while in Nantes, the general structure includes the walls between the apartments. The precast walls of the balconies were attached to the structure to reduce costs. This was used in all elements as leading to higher work.
