As part of the urban renewal of the Noyer Doré district, the City of Antony sought to create a central park, a true haven of nature and community for residents.
The project takes advantage of the site’s natural topography to structure the spaces and optimize stormwater management. It is organized around three main components: a landscaped basin located at the lowest point of the site, collecting runoff from the park; a large, undulating lawn offering a versatile open space; and a series of three landscaped terraces connected by a north-south axis, linking the residential neighborhoods to the train station.
Water is a central theme in the landscape design. The terraces, built into the slope, offer complementary atmospheres and uses: a children’s playground, a contemplative garden conducive to relaxation, and a Mediterranean garden featuring a plant palette adapted to contemporary climate challenges.
Designed using durable and high-quality materials, the park offers a sustainable living environment, reconciling uses, biodiversity and integrated stormwater management.
