Maïmat广场位于法国图卢兹以南26公里的Muret区，其设计以1960年代盛行的“Grands Ensembles”（大规模社会住宅）模式为基础。Maïmat广场的更新项目围绕着一片宽阔的林地展开，其中坐落着8个住宅体块。南面的公共广场设有一个露天市场和一系列店铺。项目的第一阶段为南广场景观改造，于2014年交付；第二阶段为北广场景观改造，于2018年交付。

Muret is a French commune located 26 km south of Toulouse, in the Occitanie region, in the department of Haute-Garonne, of which it is a sub-prefecture. Located in the neighbourhood of northern Muret (31 Toulouse), Maïmat Square was designed based on the model of the “Grands Ensembles” which were favoured in the 1960s.
Committed to revitalizing the district, Promologis initiated an urban renewal project in close collaboration with the town of Muret and the project management team. The urban renewal project of Maïmat Square is articulated around a large wooded area, within which eight residential blocks are located. A public square to the south accommodates an open air market and a row of shops located at the foot of the shared ownership building.
Phase 01 “Maïmat South” delivered in 2014. Phase 02 “Maïmat North” delivered in 2018.

项目的一期工程旨在改善社区居民的生活质量，使原先较为封闭的住宅体块变得开放和通透。施工过程遵循了“抽屉式操作”的原则，以便让居民可以留在场地。公共广场的下方建造了一个新的地下停车场，提供了部分必要的停车位。其他车位则分布在场地周边，使住宅楼群的中央得以解放出来，为行人和其他交通方式留出空间。
Phase 1 of the project positively transformed the neighbourhood and the quality of life for the residents. Formerly focused in on itself and totally impermeable, the site is now open and porous. Key programming was streamlined to enable this transformation: An underground parking constructed beneath the public square provided part of the required car parking. Other parking places were distributed around the site’s periphery, liberating the centre of the city block for pedestrians and other means of non-vehicular transport.

为了强调建筑的居住属性，同时考虑到它与地面层的关系，项目的开发商Promologis提出了一个兼顾空间与景观的解决方案，即建造种植小岛和公共庭院。
The important question of “residentialisation” and more generally the relationship to the ground was considered by Promologis and the project management team, whose reflection lead to a spatial architectural and landscape solution: wooded islets and common courtyards.

场地的首层从住宅中解放出来，形成了一个连接公共空间与大堂的界面，通过一系列公共庭院，为居住者提供了一个能够相互接触和联系的、方便又舒适的环境。在住宅所在的地块周围，种植小岛犹如一个共享的景观公园，为社区赋予了一种全新的环境。
The ground floor is freed up from housing and forms a space which provides an interface between the public space and the building’s lobby. Functional and easily appropriated, these public courtyards provide a link, and offer a pleasant environment to encounter one’s neighbours. Around the inhabited plots, wooded islets promote the identity of the new neighbourhood, which is perceived as a landscaped public park, wooded and inhabited.

建筑的立面采用了混凝土和木质饰面，具有天然和易于维护的特点。外部工程所使用的材料大都回收自现场，例如用于围合种植小岛的金属栏杆、用于重建土壤地层的碎石混凝土，以及用于铺设小型庭院的混凝土板等。
Concrete and wood cladding for the buildings was selected and used for their raw appearance and the ease of maintenance. The exterior works include the recovery of materials from the site : Metal railings to fence the planted islets. Logs and felled trees to fence the planted islets…Crushed concrete from demolition used to reconstitute the soil horizons. Crushed concrete (0/40) from recycling facilities for outdoor spaces excluding main roads. 50X50 concrete slabs from the former shopping centre to surface the small courtyards.
