A larger-scale project (via
World Architecture Network) in Dijon, France offers integrated green solutions by an intedisciplinary team including
EXP architectes and teammates
Studiomustard Architecture,
Sempervirens Landscape Designers in the creation of the Heudelet 26 Ecodistrict:
"Located in proximity to the city center, the new urban design will be the first of Dijon’s Ecodistricts and serve as a model for later developments. The district will enhance “the neighborhood’s identity and density by favouring mixed income and mixed generational housing, thus testifying to a new way of conceiving urban development.”

The grouping of 300 residences and a mix of other buildings will use the greenery to aid in active and passive energy use. There is also a focus on multi-modal transportation and walkability, utilizing roofs and other spaces for additional open spaces:
"The district is geared toward pedestrians and cyclists; yet, the district will also include a parking lot that will rest slightly below grade and its roof will “provide a green corridor, with commons, playgrounds, urban forums, vegetable gardens.”
