La Poste Immobilier is building a huge logistics hotel a stone’s throw from Lille

Former postal sorting centerthe 5-hectare industrial wasteland was identified for its reconversion potential in a sector where the Lille metropolis aims for urban revitalization. The logistics hotel aims to distinguish itself by its “multifunctionality”. The ground floor of 12,000 m² will be dedicated to La Poste activitieswhile the 6,000 m² upstairs will be offered to SMEs and SMIs local, with 12 modular cells of 500 m² each, accessible to 12-ton trucks. “The flexibility and scalability of the building's uses are at the heart of its design, allowing its adaptation to future uses,” emphasizes La Poste Immobilier.

Camille Gehin, deputy general director of the company, continues: “The Lezennes logistics platform stands out as a demonstrator of the La Poste group's know-how in the reconversion of industrial wastelands. By breathing new life into this space, we are creating an environment that combines modernity and anticipation of future needs of La Poste and the territory”.

Designed by the Architectures Anne Démians agency, this project is distinguished by an architecture “combining functionality and aesthetics”. With a hybrid structure in wood and concrete, and a facade in recycled aluminum, the logistics hotel presents a strong architectural signature. This architecture, beyond its visual impact, meets specific energy and environmental performance objectives. The materials used, notably aluminum and wood, are chosen for their low ecological impact, while the design of the building promotes optimized management of light and heat.

“The Matrix is ​​a platform that generates urban spaces. It initiates a process of related creations, plays on the identification of objects – careful and expressive design – and inscribes its own evolution in the genes of its construction. The Matrix has in mind to go through time and adapt to the changes in uses that will be distributed to it as new data appear,” specifies Anne Démians, president of the Anne Démians architecture agency.

The project focuses on the reversibility of spaces to support the evolution of user needs over time. This bold architectural choice ensures the sustainability of the building while preserving the aesthetic coherence of the whole despite changes in use.

A very promising project.
