Cité Maurice-Thorez, Social housing complex in Ivry-sur-Seine, France.
The residential complex features two perpendicular blocks with red brick facades and a reinforced concrete structure reaching fourteen stories at its highest point.
Architects Henri and Robert Chevallier designed and completed the building in 1953, marking the first high-rise structure in Ivry-sur-Seine during post-war reconstruction.
The complex bears the name of Maurice Thorez, a French Communist Party leader who served as a deputy representative for Ivry-sur-Seine from 1932.
The building contains 400 apartments distributed across different levels, with a central service tower housing stairs and elevators for resident circulation.
The structure incorporates metal kitchen furniture and open walkways, demonstrating innovative interior design approaches for 1950s social housing.
