Thanks to its forward thinking, ARTEA won the competition launched by the city of Lille to transform the former "Usine Elévatoire" into a place of meeting, culture and life where one can work and stay.
The Project
As a result, the ARTEA Group will breathe new life into the old factory,
by creating a space for sharing, well-being, and learning, while
showcasing historical heritage.
Soon, at “L’Usine Élévatoire,” you’ll be able to work, see a
see an exhibit, grab a bite to eat, have brunch, have a drink, or stay the night, go on
meet people and enjoy an experience in an inspiring setting.
We will offer a concept open to everyone based on the
a blend of coworking through our COWORKOFFICE offering and coliving through COLOFT,
the restaurant and events industries.
In order to ensure that our project blends in seamlessly
In its environment, we are implementing a participatory approach by
consulting with residents, the community center, and local organizations.
As part of this dynamic, the beneficiaries of the allotments in Poterne Park will also be involved in the life of the site, which will be open to them and offer permaculture and urban gardening activities.
A place to live and share dedicated to the hospitality of today's economic operators
The project proposes solutions aimed at facilitating exchanges and the
well-being, with a variety of facilities and services offered to support it:
- A 2,062 m² coworking space with
flexible workspaces or private offices, an atrium, and a space
a cozy lounge perfect for relaxing and socializing, a café, a spa, a
a swimming lane, a gym, and an auditorium. - A "COLOFT" coliving concept that incorporates the
the concept of shared services, allowing guests to enjoy a cozy space for
temporary stays, with access to a wide range of services - A micro-nursery
- Restaurant and bar with terrace
There will be activities centered on permaculture in connection with
allotment gardens.
Events will punctuate life at the site throughout
the year when friendliness and well-being will be the hallmarks of this place
open, a true laboratory for the city of tomorrow.
Site accessibility and mobility :
This is a main concern for all the projects developed by our group, so we would like to offer multiple solutions in order to make the site flow better.
- Basement parking
- Electric charging stations
- Bike parks and collaborative bike repair shop
- Carpooling and car-sharing solutions
A project characterized by innovation in both application and sustainable design
Beyond the programmatic aspect, and drawing on his experience
In green buildings, ARTEA will strive to incorporate all the
innovative construction technologies as part of the site's renovation.
