Darwin ecosystem, Urban rehabilitation complex in Bastide district, Bordeaux, France.
Darwin is a conversion of former military buildings in the Bastide district that now houses workspaces, restaurants, fitness facilities, and shops under one roof. The complex repurposes barracks structures as open areas designed for various community activities and enterprises.
The buildings were constructed in 1874 as the Niel barracks and served military purposes for generations. A comprehensive redesign in 2011 transformed the site into a hub for environmental and community initiatives.
The site draws artists and sports enthusiasts who display their work and train here regularly. Street murals and exhibition areas shape the daily landscape and show how creativity fills this space.
The site is easily accessible and welcomes visitors throughout the day and evening for various activities. You will find seating areas, workout spaces, and shopping options depending on what brings you here.
Inside you'll find a vast hall called Magasin General, recognized as one of Europe's largest bistro spaces. This hall focuses on resource-conscious cooking and offers both plant-based and meat-based dishes.
