MASTERPLANNING - THE RESIDENTIAL MORCELLEMENTS

In March 2016, ENL Properties, the dynamic team in charge of the development of Moka Smart City, approached us to develop a Morcellement project at Courchamps. A sugar cane field area set to become a large residential neighborhood. Building on the original master plan, we proposed a complete redesign of the layout to maximize north orientations for the future houses. The resulting Morcellement, named Les Rives de Courchamps, was completed in 2017 featuring soft ways of desigining access roads and storm water drains, minimizing the built footprint.

In parallel, we were tasked with designing the main entrance to the entire Courchamps development. Instead of an architectural landmark, we proposed a landscaping design creating a subtle yet distinct identity, drawing inspiration from the orderly rows of sugar cane fields, offering a recognizable and natural entry point to the neighborhood.

Thanks to the success of this project, ENL Properties decided to continue our collaboration by hiring G+F for the subsequent development phases, which included drafting building guidelines for each. We designed Les Versants de Courchamps, characterized by its distinctive box-shaped entrance building made of stone and pine logs, along with an entrance water feature.

Then, Les Berges de Courchamps, facing les Rives was completed in 2023, and Les Plaines is set to begin construction soon.

For Bagatelle Hills, a smaller Morcellement consisting of only 17 plots, we aimed to continue our exploration of entrance gate design by proposing a unique 3D metal gate. This innovative design provided a modern and distinctive entry feature for the development.

We were also involved in the masterplanning of L’Avenir, the eastern part of Moka City.
