Nestled between pavilions, small collectives and bourgeois houses, just behind the Jean Dauger stadium, the Xoko Ferdea residence – "the green corner" in Basque – has all the assets of a peri-urban area, with many shops and services in the immediate vicinity. Faithful to Bayonne and its 40% green spaces, it is designed on a plot of nearly 2000 m², around a green island where the hundred-year-old cedar of this remarkable site majestically sits. The whole has been designed from its inception to highlight this emblematic hundred-year-old tree. The building revolves around this symbolic plant element, giving a deep identity to this project. The two R+2 buildings that make up the residence surround a beautiful setting of freshness and offer an intimate atmosphere, giving pride of place to shaded circulation areas. Xoko Ferdea consists of 17 apartments, with parking and a room for two wheels in the basement. Its clean lines and white-coated walls contrast elegantly with the stone-coloured frames and balconies, the black metal railings, the grey aluminium joinery, the more classic Romanesque tiles and the many wooden stains adorning the facades, which echo the exterior pathways. Young couples, families or retirees will find a comfortable and peaceful place to live close to the city centre on foot.
