The Bocage project, comprising 82 housing units and led by em2c Promotion, is part of the urban renewal of the Garon district in Grigny-sur-Rhône (69).

This distinction recognizes the architectural, environmental, and social quality of a project that is fully integrated into the neighborhood's transformation, with the ambition of:

• to strengthen its attractiveness,
• to promote diversity in residential pathways,
• to support the evolution of the QPV (Priority Neighborhood of the City) towards an open, balanced and sustainably integrated neighborhood within the city.

Driven by the ambition to reconcile constructive innovation, quality of use and environmental performance, Bocage is fully in line with the strategy of the em2c Group, a mission-driven company committed to the sustainable transformation of territories.

An innovative and efficient construction system

The project is based on an innovative hybrid construction system, combining prefabricated concrete columns and slabs with non-load-bearing timber-framed facades. This approach allows for the creation of a high-performance building envelope, largely manufactured off-site, guaranteeing both improved quality control, reduced construction time, and a smaller carbon footprint.

Housing designed for diverse uses and life paths

Bocage offers a wide variety of housing types, from collective housing to individual houses, in order to meet the varied needs of residents: young households, families, seniors or single people.

The homes have been designed with particular attention to modularity, adaptability, and user comfort, allowing them to accommodate evolving lifestyles over the long term. On a 6.600 m² plot of land, Bocage is developing:

• 82 dwellings: 75 apartments and 7 houses,
• Living area: approximately 5.227 m2 (floor area: 5.680 m2),
• 133 parking spaces.

A high environmental ambition

Within Bocage, the building layout allows for the preservation of existing trees and complements them with a high-quality landscaping project. The green corridor at the heart of the project, a true extension of the city's main landscaped promenade, contributes to a peaceful living environment for the common good of the neighborhood's residents.

The project demonstrates a strong environmental commitment, with:

• compliance with the Sustainable Housing Standards of the Metropolis,
• reaching the 2028 threshold of the RE2020,
• and achieving level 2 of the bio-based label.

These commitments reflect em2c Promotion's desire to develop low-carbon operations, integrating bio-based materials, optimized resource management and a strong presence of vegetation at the heart of the project.

Tailored support for future first-time buyers

Recognizing the challenges of homeownership, the Bocage project includes a support system specifically designed for first-time buyers. This support aims to secure residential pathways, facilitate access to homeownership, and foster the development of a harmonious community life, particularly through shared spaces and group activities from the program's earliest years.

Through the Bocage project, em2c Promotion confirms its ability to design exemplary urban projects, combining constructive innovation, environmental responsibility and quality of life for residents, in close collaboration with local authorities and stakeholders.
