The TR2 tower is a social housing complex in Elbeuf-sur-Seine, in
Normandy. Built in 1972, the tower was renovated in 2017 by the Boucle
de Seine Architecture architectural practice, who added an external
thermal insulation system to the building. The sustainable renovation
project went hand in hand with the desire to modernise the urban
architecture in a neighbourhood that is classed as a sensitive urban
zone.
The building envelope was fitted with 313 Goccia 2.6 recessed lighting
fixtures with a screen in sandblasted extra-clear glass and a colour
temperature of 4000K. The night-time result is a fascinating cascade of
stars reflected in the Seine, which flows alongside the building.
The lighting project won first prize in France’s Concours Lumières
2018 precisely because of the symbolic significance of this original and
exemplary regeneration of a social housing building that, because of its
location, marks the entrance to the French town.
