The garden city
The popular Pavillons - Avenir - Verdun district
Inspired by the concept of the garden city elaborated by the Englishman Ebenezer Howard, the district of the future is composed of small workers' houses today listed within the framework of the Aire de Valorisation de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine of Deauville.
About forty of them, built in the 1920s and intended for a low-rent rental program, are identical. Surrounded by a small garden, they house two apartments. Their symmetrical facades are decorated with painted cement half-timbering on the upper parts.
The exterior treatment reinterprets the Norman style by playing on the geometric aspect of the volumes as well as on the color and texture of the materials. Since 2004, these houses have undergone numerous upgrades. They are part of the 520 social housing units of the City of Deauville (32% of the permanent housing stock).
