Toulouse: a residence instead of the body shop on the banks of the canal

The new residence stands on the edge of the canal in place of an emblematic body shop in this sector of Raisin. It bears the residence name “Hédoniste”, probably to make one forget the industrious side of the establishment which preceded it on the site. Because it is a completely classic creation, even if designed in a very modern and sober style by the Toulouse architect Serge Zilio, of the SZ Architectures studio.
