“Dear Montrugian owners, (…) your facelift is not an isolated act. It participates in the collective work, in the beauty of your city. Colored facades bring joy to your city, they make it more beautiful, more attractive… This is why we strongly invite you to dare to use color! “.
Like the Scandinavian countries, Montrouge (Hauts-de-Seine) wants to embellish its public space by adding color to its streets. The city, which already has around twenty buildings with blue, red, yellow or even pink facades, would like to have more. “It makes the house from the outside a little livelier, more welcoming. It makes you want to come home,” Tom shares on the landing of his bright blue house.
At the beginning of the year, the facade of the building of the Optimum architecture firm required a facelift. Formerly white, it now sports a bright yellow color. “The town hall told us that it liked contrasts and colorful facades, but nothing was imposed on us. In addition, the color had to be validated by the Buildings of France”, explains Nathalie, architect, who participated in the choice of color.
Indeed, to keep a form of unity in the city, the town hall specifies that the facade color proposal requires validation upstream of the urban planning commission. “The colorful facades in Montrouge are nice, it gives a little Portofino side! laughs Mireille, a resident on a walk in the town hall square.
