The Café Art Concert project was built around several dreams:
Create a place for sharing and discovery, warm, intergenerational, accessible to all budgets, a space combining leisure and culture, gastronomy, ecology and generally: all the Arts.


Their eco-responsible and sustainable approach:
ARCHITECTURE
- Renovation and expansion of a rammed earth barn, part of Isère's heritage. The project is based on respect for the building's identity and history, with a bioclimatic design.
- Choice of bio-sourced materials to limit environmental impact.
- Choice of a greenhouse made of thermal polycarbonate (fully recyclable, more resistant to hail than glass) and local wood.
- Choice of a rainwater recovery system.
- Choice of solar panels.
- Choice of a double flow CMV.
- Local craftsmen for the various trades involved in the project.

CAFE LAYOUT
- Choice of furniture and tableware from short circuits or creations by local artisans.

CAFE ACTIVITIES AND RESTAURANTS
- Priority on local, fresh, seasonal products, and if possible organic.
- Reduction of food waste: sustainable containers for transporting products, total use of products, implementation of a reservation system for the restaurant to manage quantities.
- Waste recycling and composting on site.
- Vegetable garden with edible flowers and herbs on site.
- Raise environmental awareness among our customers: purchase of second-hand equipment, local sourcing, “homemade, DIY”, recycling, responsible consumption.
- Proposed activities: highlight associations, self-employed people and local businesses as a priority.
