THE POT


The reconversion of a large-sacel retail space on a commercial street addresses how to transform a very generic space into a varied, attractive and open space. The complexity of the programme  which includes a restaurant, a food shop on the ground floor, collective kitchens and food labs with various cooking facilities, offices and collective spaces as well as spaces dedicated to communication (including TV shows) generates many interactions and views. 
Cross-fertilizing uses and users in a complex ecosystem which evolves 
around how we make food.
