A very ominous Postmodernist housing estate, completed in 1982 by the architect Ricardo Bofill, known as the filming location for dystopian films such The Hunger Games and Brazil. As of 2024, residents of the complex were extremely uncomfortable with anyone who appeared to be an outsider looking around.
Les Espaces d'Abraxas is a high-density housing complex in Noisy-le-Grand, approximately 12 km (7.5 mi) from Paris, France. The building was designed by architect Ricardo Bofill and his architecture practice Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura (RBTA) in 1978 on behalf of the French government, during a period of increased urbanisation across France after World War II. This rapid urbanisation led to overcrowding and insufficient housing in Paris. To offset this, the French government implemented a project to create five 'New Towns' on the outskirts of the city.

Postmodernist housing estate completed in 1985, but not quite as ominous and austere as the Espaces d'Abraxas. Nicknamed 'Les Camemberts' by the locals due to the building's round shape.
