Ecla Paris Massy-Palaiseau has had a makeover and you can tell!

Let’s be honest: when you renovate Europe’s largest coliving residence, you’d better deliver. And it’s safe to say Ecla Paris Massy-Palaiseau went all in. New spaces, new vibes, new places to hang out between classes or after a long day at work. Let’s take you on the tour!

The reception area that sets the scene

As you walk in, you’re greeted by a large brushed copper counter, a copper-toned ceiling, and a bright neon light drawing arabesque shapes above you. Plants cascade from their metal structures, and the lighting is soft. Welcome home.

The Agora: your giant living room

This is where it all happens. A 15 m² giant screen, pool tables, a foosball table, and round sofas in warm orange tones that make you want to stay. The Agora is the place where you’ll end up getting to know everyone in the residence, whether you mean to or not. And honestly, that’s a good thing.

The Workroom: when you really need to get things done

We know you. Sometimes the quiet of your studio isn’t enough, and you need a real workspace to switch into productivity mode. The Workroom delivers exactly that: large light-wood tables, stylish pendant lights, and cozy alcoves with burgundy walls for those moments when focus matters. Cozy and efficient at the same time.

The Chillroom: a well-deserved break

You’ve submitted your assignment, your meeting went well, or you simply need to breathe. The Chillroom is waiting with large sofas facing floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the green courtyard. Here, there are no imposed screens and no noise: just you, your playlist, and a view of the trees.

The breakfast buffet: the best way to start the day

Because a great day often starts with a great morning, the residence has taken care of this moment too. A long light-wood counter, self-serve cereals, fresh fruit, a proper coffee machine, and dim lighting that gives you time to truly wake up. Even early risers will find what they need.

The meeting room: for the more serious moments

Remote interviews, group projects, brainstorming with other residents… the private meeting room is here for you. Built-in bench seating, a burgundy accent wall, and windows facing the courtyard. A professional setting right next to home, without having to book an expensive café in town.

A residence that feels like you

It’s beautiful, it’s thoughtfully designed, and above all, it’s made to make you want to leave your apartment and truly live in the residence. In Massy-Palaiseau, close to the Saclay Plateau and just twenty minutes from Paris, Ecla doesn’t just offer you a place to stay. It offers a place you’ll actually look forward to coming home to.
