MVRDV与房地产开发商Groupe Giboire的合作建筑师ALL一起完成了Ascension Paysagère，这是一个位于法国雷恩西部两条河流交汇处的住宅综合体。这座12层高、8200平方米的综合体占据了雷恩中心和外围的重要过渡空间，在城市向外发展的背景下带来了亟需的密度，提供了138套不同尺寸和价格范围的住宅–包括37套社会住房–以及商业空间和绿色水岸环境中的宜人新公共空间。

MVRDV, along with co-architects ALL for real estate developer Groupe Giboire, has completed Ascension Paysagère, a residential complex at the confluence of two rivers in the west of Rennes, France. Occupying a crucial transitional space between the Rennes’ center and its outer reaches, the 12-storey, 8,200-square-metre complex brings much-needed density in the context of the city’s outward growth, providing 138 homes in a variety of sizes and price ranges – including 37 units of social housing – as well as commercial spaces and pleasant new public spaces in a green waterside environment.

2018年，法国杂志《l’Express》称雷恩为法国最宜居的城市，再加上2017年新的TGV连接的到来，这种吸引力导致了人口的持续增长。市中心的许多遗产建筑将这种扩张压力向外转移，要求周边地区要么向外延伸到农村，要么–最好是–向上发展，采取令人愉快的密集化方式。Ascension Paysagère位于Ille河与Vilaine河的交汇处，在Jardin de la Confluence的绿色浮动公园对面，在Mail François Mitterrand现在的步行街的尽头，Ascension Paysagère的高度可见位置要求对这种周边密集化采取一种示范性的方法。

In 2018, the French magazine l’Express called Rennes the most liveable city in France, and, combined with the arrival of a new TGV connection in 2017, this attractiveness has led to continued population growth. The many heritage buildings in the city’s center have shifted this expansion pressure outwards, requiring the periphery to grow either outwards into the countryside or – preferably – upwards with a pleasant approach to densification. Positioned precisely where the Ille River joins the Vilaine, across from the green floating park of the Jardin de la Confluence, at the end of the now- pedestrianized thoroughfare of Mail François Mitterrand, Ascension Paysagère’s highly visible location required an exemplary approach to this perimeter densification.

Ascension Paysagère从地质构造中获得灵感。该项目包括两个弯曲的建筑，一大一小，坡度逐渐后退。在河边，以及在项目接近其邻居的地方，建筑很低，承认了广阔的低层环境。然而，在其他地方，设计逐渐上升为三座山峰，在场地中心达到最大的12层楼高度。这些逐渐后退的露台上摆放着装满绿色植物的花盆，将河岸的郁郁葱葱的气氛向上延伸到公寓，甚至是在建筑的最顶端。在较大的街区的西角，在建筑的两个 “山峰 “之间，一个包括果树的花园强调了这种绿色的方法。

Ascension Paysagère takes inspiration from geological formations. The project comprises two curving buildings, one large and one small, with gradually receding slopes. By the river, and at points where the project approaches its neighbors, the buildings are low, acknowledging the expansive, low-rise context. Elsewhere, however, the design gradually steps up into three peaks, reaching the maximum 12-story height in the center of the site. The terraces created by these gradual step-backs are decked with pots filled with greenery, extending the lush atmosphere of the riverbank upwards to the apartments even at the very top of the building. On the western corner of the larger block, in between the building’s two ‘peaks’, a garden including fruit trees emphasizes this green approach.

外立面加强了与地质学的联系。它采用了五种不同的灰色调的哑光和光亮的陶瓷板，排列成分层：靠近地面的是深色的，大部分是哑光的，顶部的是浅色的和光亮的。在晚上，灯光加强了这种效果，更多的灯光被整合到建筑顶部的陶瓷板上。其结果是，该设计仿佛真正属于它–环境本身的产物，即使它大大密集了城市的这一部分，也感觉很自然。

The façade reinforces the connection to geology. It features both matte and glossy ceramic panels in five different tones of grey, arranged into stratified layers: dark and mostly matte near to ground level, and lighter and glossier at the top levels. At night, lighting reinforces this effect, with more lights integrated into the ceramic panels at the top of the building. As a result, the design seems as if it truly belongs – an outgrowth of the environment itself, which feels natural even as it significantly densifies this part of the city.

每套公寓都有户外空间–要么是露台，要么是阳台，要么是凉亭。每一个都配有定制的植物盆栽，并配有自动灌溉系统和专用水龙头，以帮助居民照顾他们的景观。

Every apartment is provided with outdoor space – either a terrace, a balcony, or a loggia. Each of these comes complete with custom plant pots fitted with automatic irrigation as well as a dedicated water tap to help residents care for their piece of the landscape.

梯田创造了一个类似村庄的氛围，使居民能够与他们的邻居打招呼。在地面上，建筑的曲线定义了一系列的公共空间，在两个街区之间有一条绿色的步行街，在水边有一个广场，通往Le Bacchus，这是一个餐厅和剧院，被大建筑的曲线所拥抱。大楼的入口在三条诱人的木质包裹的通道中找到，这些通道穿过大楼，创造了宽敞的会议空间，并提供景观和通往剧院餐厅后面的隐蔽花园的通道。在场地的入口处，一个曾经翻新过的税务局被纳入城市规划，使公共广场成为三个建筑时期的混合体。

The terraces create a village-like atmosphere that allows residents to greet their neighbors above and below. At ground level, the curves of the buildings define a series of public spaces, with a green pedestrian street between the two blocks and a plaza at the water’s edge that leads to Le Bacchus, a restaurant and theatre that is embraced by the curve of the larger building. The entrances to the larger building are found in three inviting, wood-clad passages that punch through the building, creating generous meeting spaces and providing views and access to a secluded garden at the rear of the theatre restaurant. At the entrance to the site a former renovated tax office is included in the urban plan, making the public square a mix of three architectural periods.

该项目采用了多种方法来确保可持续性和社会责任。使城市区域密集化减少了城市对周围景观的扩张，停车场包括总共210平方米的自行车停车场，包括货运自行车和电动充电站的专用空间，以鼓励更多的可持续交通选择。小楼里的34套公寓是按照Passivhaus标准完成的，使它们有可能比一般的公寓大大减少能源的使用。许多公寓都是双面甚至三面的，在建筑的多个侧面都有窗户，以允许交叉通风和内部良好的自然光条件。

The project uses a variety of approaches to ensure sustainability and social responsibility. Densifying an urban area reduces the city’s need to expand into the surrounding landscape, and the parking garages include a total of 210 square meters for bicycle parking, including dedicated spaces for cargo bicycles and electric charging stations to encourage more sustainable transport options. The 34 apartments in the smaller building are completed to Passivhaus standards, giving them the potential to use dramatically less energy than typical apartments. Many of the apartments are double or even triple aspect, with windows on multiple sides of the building to allow cross ventilation and excellent natural light conditions inside.

各种各样的公寓类型分布在整个建筑中，包括37套用于社会租赁的房屋和42套作为经济适用房出售的房屋，确保该项目为各种收入水平和家庭规模的人提供了一些服务。大楼里的公共空间采用高标准的装修，并向所有居民开放，无论公寓的价格或类型如何，都对每个住户一视同仁。凭借绿色的环境、临水的位置和美丽的户外空间，Ascension Paysagère准备进一步增加雷恩的宜居性，并可以作为该城市如何满足其当前住房需求的示范。

A diverse range of apartment types is spread throughout the building, including 37 homes for social rent and 42 for sale as affordable housing, ensuring that the project offers something for people of all income levels and family sizes. The communal spaces in the buildings feature high-standard finishes and are open to all residents, treating every occupant equally regardless of the price or type of their apartment. With the green surroundings, the location on the water, and the beautiful outdoor spaces, Ascension Paysagère is poised to further add to the liveability of Rennes and can serve as a demonstration of how the city can meet its current housing demand.
