In the Annecy area, the Maryse Bastié residence was developed by Action Logement at the request of local companies that are struggling to attract new talent, particularly due to land pressure and difficulties in finding accommodation.
Since September 2025, this new residence has offered 70 furnished apartments, organized around shared spaces (dining room, laundry facilities). These apartments will allow new employees to settle into the area smoothly while giving them time to find permanent housing. The desire to reduce the building's environmental footprint (E+C- certification with an E3C2 level) guided the architectural design of the residence, whose pre-weathered wooden facades ensure the longevity of its appearance.
"The pre-weathered wooden facades provide lasting visibility to the respect for the environment that guided our architectural thinking."
The project choices
The residence is based on a primary concrete structure and a timber frame envelope with bio-sourced wood fiber insulation.
Prefabricated in the workshop, the facade elements arrived on site insulated, sealed, and clad with an ISB cladding solution. The timber-framed facades are clad with Protect Douglas fir (a French species processed in France), finished with a saturator that nourishes and protects the wood, while leaving the grain visible for a natural and lasting effect.
With a 10-year guaranteed protection ( wood preservation), the Protect range is available in two wood species (Douglas and Northern Fir) and in a wide choice of colors (equinox grey for the residence).
ISB cladding is manufactured in France from French wood species (labeled "Bois de France") or European wood species (Northern wood).
Beyond the Protect saturated claddings, ISB also offers coloured claddings (Extra range) , autoclaved claddings (Classic range) and natural wood claddings (Nature range).
