BFV‘s ‘2en1’ project consists of two separate student halls, with each one housing 150 rooms and a variety of common room areas. in both structures, the ground floors are dedicated to collective uses and services, including reception desks, cafeteria, co-working spaces, laundry, bikes racks, etc. 

additional shared and convivial spaces where students relax or work together can be found on every floor. all private rooms are located towards the upper levels, for increased privacy. at the very top of both buildings, the green roof is open to all and offers a unique view over aubervilliers.
