The project is a workshop for a photographer. It includes a storage area and a place for indoor and outdoor photography.
Located in a craft area of the city of Aubervilliers, the building occupies almost the entire plot and the available height that regulations can offer.
The building is a black box that is open with five large windows that take in as much natural light as possible.
These large windows create a link between the interior and the exterior.
The materiality is that of a steel hangar, in order to use local materials and optimize the structure by making it thinner to give even more light.
From the ground to the roof, all the spaces are built to capture the light and the landscape: graffiti, pedestrians, buildings, sky..
All the elements of the context are absorbed in a simple and rational architecture in the service of photography.
