On the site of the former AB Production film sets in Saint-Denis (93), France, the golden age of television is over and lets place to new practices. The LAO cooperative of architecture and manufacturing is based there.
This project is a special project in our hearts: it is a place of conviviality in addition to being our workplace; and its architecture seeks to reflect this.

Self-built, the volume houses upstairs: a kitchen / dining room / meeting room for plenary sessions. On the ground floor is the heated workshop, free of dust, intended for the application of varnishes, glues and patinas as well as for screen printing.

This building was designed and built with maximizing reused materials in mind. It includes 55% of reused materials from the nearby Ile-de-France region, i.e. a total of 4.4 tonnes of materials saved from the dumpster, and therefore as much materials that did not need to be produced.
