Maison de François Coignet, Historical house in Saint-Denis, France
The residence features decorative elements such as moldings, cornices, and balustrades made entirely of concrete, demonstrating early architectural applications of this material.
Built between 1853 and 1855, this structure stands as France's first concrete house, constructed under the direction of industrialist François Coignet near his factory.
The building represents a turning point in construction methods, as fourteen architects led by Henri Labrouste evaluated its innovative concrete techniques in 1855.
Located at 72 rue Charles-Michels and 29 boulevard de la Libération, the house received official monument status protection in February 2024.
François Coignet developed a specialized concrete mixture using coal ash and limestone, creating a more economical building material than traditional stone.
