Three new tennis courts have been placed at the end of the plot
with the best possible sun exposure for play. The clubhouse is
located near these new courts so as to create a tennis hub.
A path enabling access for people with special needs makes it
possible to reach the already existing indoor tennis courts via a
landscaped passageway.
The sun deck has direct access from the swimming pool and on
a level with the door to the pool. It faces directly south to take
full advantage of the sun. A space for snacks is located closely
nearby on the terrace outside the bar-cafeteria.
The roof over the stands is composed of a light frame supporting
a metal cover with timber cladding on the under side. Although
the stands’ 300-seat capacity abuts against the Sports Centre’s
building, it is entirely independent in its use.
There are 4 access points, three of which are free-standing:
• a central access point from the pitch
• two access points on either end of the stands for independent use
• and access directly into the entrance hall that can be opened or
closed depending on needs
The running track has been located between the football pitch
and the tennis courts, enabling the separation of the two areas and
preferential access.
Complementarity between the materials and the technical
choices
The Sports Centre marries the following:
• textured and anti-graffiti-treated concrete with indoor
insulation on the ground floor
trellised
concrete with occasional plantlife
•
• stained and saturated Scots pine cladding with exterior
insulation on the upper floors
construction systems:
• Foundations of piles and structural slabs
• Base and superstructure in concrete
• A system of floor slab shuttering (prestressed slabs)
• An insulated envelope, woodwork with thermal bridge breaks
• Northeastern exposure and natural lighting favoured, with a
goal of the level P equivalent of the HQE standard
• Cogeneration gas boiler
• Radiant panel heaters in the sport halls
• Floor heating in the entrance hall, passageways and changing
rooms
• Overall double-flow ventilation
• Quality artificial light: a uniformity coefficient of 0.7
• green roof
technical sheet
The Sports Centre combines a wide variety of elements from
different briefs, i.e. already existent gyms, swimming pool and
indoor tennis courts with new all-purpose halls, a boxing gym,
a bodybuilding gym, two dojos, a football pitch with stands,
outdoor tennis courts and a clubhouse. The new building is
located to the west of existing buildings, uniting the whole with
an entrance hall that acts as a bridge to all the facilities.
A ground-floor green base supports a “wooden house” that
contains the sports halls. Bathed in natural light the entire
building offers warm and functional spaces.
