The Flora residence is an eco-friendly residence located in the Groues neighborhood of Nanterre. Its 88 apartments, ranging from studios to five-room units, feature pleasant and generous outdoor spaces, including terraces and balconies. Most of the apartments are dual-aspect or triple-aspect to maximize natural light. Designed using CLT (Cross Laminated Timber), a natural renewable material, the interiors of Flora offer a warm and cozy atmosphere with the charm of exposed wood in all apartments with three or more rooms.
In addition to the charm it brings to the interior, wood is an effective insulator that provides excellent thermal insulation for better control of energy costs.
