Innovative off-site 3D modular construction for 40 future homes in Mériel in 2026

Project

Val d'Oise Habitat is directly managing a modular construction operation for 40 semi-collective social rental housing units.

An innovative 3D modular construction concept

For this new residence in Mériel, the so-called "off-site" 3D construction method that will be used consists of standardizing the construction, with the housing units fitting into an identical framework while allowing for perfect integration into the landscape.

This method of operation, with the use of wooden frame modules, also aims to reduce the carbon footprint of the entire project through the use of bio-sourced materials.

This off-site “industrialization” method will also significantly reduce the duration of the worksite and the nuisances for local residents with a targeted industrialization rate of more than 70%.

Program Intentions

The program is part of an urban fabric that is mainly composed of residential units. The project includes 40 social rental housing units, 40 parking spaces, a lodge and all with particularly careful architectural and landscape integration:

• 21 terraced houses of identical dimensions, each with 2 individual superimposed dwellings: a T2 on the ground floor and a T3 upstairs, including 2 houses which will have common areas on the ground floor.
• The ground floor accommodations will be accessible on the ground floor, while the upper floor accommodations will be accessible from walkways built into the façade. A few freestanding balconies will complete these walkways.
• Parking will be provided outdoors, at a rate of one parking space per permeable and grassed dwelling.

A response to the housing policies of the Val d’Oise territories

Val d'Oise Habitat is strengthening its local territorial roots and increasing its presence in the commune of Mériel, completing around fifty housing units. The Office is expanding its network in the Val d'Oise department, which already covers nearly 80 communes. As a benchmark for housing in the Val d'Oise region, this operation in Mériel is a response to the expectations of local authorities.

This operation promotes social diversity and the integration of residents while limiting the impact on the neighborhood during the duration of the work.

The Val d'Oise Habitat financing plan

Val d'Oise Habitat will make an investment of over 8 million euros: 77% loans, 18% equity, 5% subsidies.
