“Haute couture” homes in the heart of Fourvière
High on Fourvière Hill, Lugdunum stands in one of Lyon's most remarkable heritage sites. The transformation of an old city block gives rise to a contemporary residence nestled in a wooded park, where the architecture engages with the topography, the historic remains and the wider Lyon landscape.
Conceived as a collection of tailor-made homes, the project is composed of pavilions on a domestic scale. The fragmented volumes follow the terrain naturally, preserve the views towards the monuments and give every home privileged views over the city and the surrounding nature.
Social mix is fully integrated: homes for sale and social housing share the same architectural language, without distinction, in a clear commitment to living together.
The architecture elegantly reinterprets Lyon's heritage through discreet Art Deco references. Stone cladding, light concrete, metal and glass form a palette of durable materials, chosen for its restraint and its ability to age gracefully.
A haute couture residence where heritage, landscape and architectural innovation merge into an exceptional achievement.
