Les Courtillières, Modernist residential complex in Pantin, France
Les Courtillières extends 960 meters with a facade decorated by 30 million glass enamel squares in various colors, creating geometric patterns across the structure.
Architect Émile Aillaud designed this grand ensemble in 1956 as part of France's post-war initiative to provide quality housing for working-class families.
The complex represents mid-20th century French architectural innovation through its integration of residential spaces with schools, sports centers, and community facilities.
The site includes multiple educational facilities, including Groupe scolaire Jean-Jaurès and a childcare center, serving the daily needs of resident families.
The renovation project incorporated eleven shades of mosaic work by artist Pierre di Scullio, enhancing the visual connection between architecture and landscape.
