La Grande Borne, Housing estate in Grigny, France
The housing complex features low-rise buildings with curved lines and colored facades, creating a network of courtyards and pedestrian paths.
Architect Emile Aillaud designed this residential development in 1967, constructing 4000 apartments to address the housing needs near Paris.
The neighborhood spaces incorporate names from mythology such as Daedalus, Minotaur, and Astrolabe, reflecting a connection to classical stories.
The estate spans across two municipalities, Grigny and Viry-Chatillon, located 25 kilometers south of Paris with public transportation access.
The architectural design breaks traditional housing patterns by creating winding buildings and varied courtyards instead of standard rectangular blocks.
