Abelia is composed of 3 wooden apartment buildings built in CLT (Cross Laminated Timber). Sustainability is at the core of Abelia’s philosophy. It was applied to every step of the project: design, construction and life in the building.
The use of wood creates unity within the environment. Indeed, the project site is located in the continuity of the Coudrais park. The zinc roofs are coloured in natural shades and folded in a way that resembles the art of origami.
This aesthetic is also present on the North and South facade of each building.
Abelia holds a BBCA Label level Excellent.
