Community recreational centre, Magnanville
Two buildings, while separated geographically, are connected by their shared graphic style, displaying a unique spatial arrangement specific to each of their contexts and functions.
The architectural outline of the roof systems gives each building a distinct silhouette, defined by the convergence of the sharply slanted roof and green terrace. The facades are of coloured larch, with a velvety texture (obtained by using rough planks and natural products such as linseed oil, black soap and natural pigments) that follows the various shades of colour, widths, thicknesses and plank orientation.
The efficiency of the buildings – which were designed and built according to the principles of sustainable development using specific technologies such as high-efficiency insulation, heat pump, solar panels – is mainly due to architectural choices and in particular the large-scale use of wood for both the structure and the external dressing.
