The Zen-like Maison des Services is located at the heart of the Latécoère tertiary campus.
It is a large kiosk in the park surrounding the Latécoère headquarters. 
Like a tea pavilion, this modest structure forms a strong signal, anchored in the landscape. It demonstrates the synergies between a high-tech company like Latécoère and low-tech design.
The choice of wood as the exclusive building material takes on all the challenges inherent to this material: its technology, its specific assemblies, its aesthetics. Beams, posts, floors, joists, terraces, roofing, facades, joinery and sunshades all sing a hymn to its materiality, with the two species used, larch and spruce, adding nuance to the overall tone. Frugal and resilient, this project is part of a low-carbon approach, contributing in its own way to the ecological transition to which Latécoère is committed
