Essonne: after the demolition of apartments, this residence of 48 housing units continues its transformation

It is one of the central points in the revitalization of the Bois-des-Roches district, in Saint-Michel-sur-Orge (Essonne). Located rue Berlioz, rue Marcel Carné and rue Massenet, the Mihaud Carné residence is full transformation at the initiative of lessor social Plurial Novilia. Of the 68 existing housing units, 20 apartments were destroyed last year. The 48 accommodations remaining are at the end of rehabilitation.

Insulation from the outside of the residence was carried out

An important energy component was deployed with the installation of external thermal insulation on the facade, the insulation of the roofs, the change of the exterior joinery and the installation of an efficient VMC.

According to the lessor, the work carried out has made it possible to achieve a energy label B.

In addition to the exterior, the interior of the residence has also experienced numerous redevelopments.

Doors, windows, shutters and sanitary facilities renewed in homes

THE most notable changes for tenants were carried out in the accommodations themselves, with the replacement of landing doors and exterior joinery, the installation of electric roller shutters, or the renewal of aging sanitary equipment and the beautification of wet rooms.

For eligible and willing people, meeting rooms showers adapted for people with reduced mobility were installed to promote independent home care for people with specific needs, particularly seniors.

As for the common areas, they have been completely refurbished with the replacement of hall doors and access to the basements, and the painting of the upper floors.

The ambition to “open up Place Marcel Carné”

Furthermore, the entrance halls have been completely renovated and the hall on the Marcel Carné aisle side has been enlarged. Finally, video intercom and smoke extraction systems cages were installed.

Carried out in consultation with the municipality of Saint-Michel-sur-Orge, this restructuring work aims to “open up Place Marcel Carné and create an esplanade in front of the media library for him give more visibility and improve quality of life residents,” explains Plurial Novilia.

The 20 destroyed housing units should thus make it possible to “open up the spaces and rethink the circulations », we further specify on the lessor’s side.

40 new homes are built

In addition to demolitions and rehabilitations, the project provides for the construction of 40 new housing units (9 T1 bis, 10 T2, 21 T3) on the plot, Place Berlioz, in order to “strengthen and diversify the rental offer in the city”, assures Plurial Novilia.

The operation, worth a total of 11.1 million euros including tax, was entrusted to GTM Bâtiment. The structural work was completed in March 2024 and delivery of the new housing is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
