From Old Chapel to Thrift Shop and Social Housing / Tectône
The chapel of the ?Avenue de la Liberte? in Charenton is the living and working space of one of the first ?Emmaus? communities in France since the 70s. Emmaus is a solidarity movement founded in Paris in 1949 by Abbe Pierre to combat poverty and homelessness. Emmaus is a secular organization, but communities around the world have kept the biblical name because of its symbolism. The charity provides formerly homeless people with a home and work, usually collecting, sorting, and reselling donated furniture and household goods in thrift shops. People welcomed by Emmaus are called ?companions? In 2018, Emmaus Liberte appointed tect?ne for a full renovation and refurbishment of their historical site. Our mission was to provide a clean, clear, and adapted to our contemporary world place of work and life for the community.
