Eo discusses their social housing project in Bordeaux, Locus Solus. The site sits on the north-western edge of the Grand-Parc district and evolved out of a participatory process of engagement with the tenants of the housing. With the idea of ‘play’ at its core, the arrangement of the site allowed of all the existing activities to be retained and a new urban farm for the residents.
