Harmonized water management

Water is a key element of the site, due to the geographical and hydrological characteristics of the plateau. It is essential to respect this natural balance by adopting a harmonized water management approach through technical and landscape-based systems. To preserve the soil structure and groundwater layers, the pools are not excavated but rather placed directly on the natural ground of the plateau. As a result, underground spaces are kept to a strict minimum, and the reception area is slightly elevated.

Humility and elegance

The constellation of metallic boxes, varying in size and texture, lends the facility a sense of monumentality while also giving it a certain discretion through reflective materials. Suspended, more or less reflective, more or less striated, these boxes appear and disappear depending on the light. Although governed by a unified formal and metallic language, they break down into a multitude of facets and perceptions. Their appearance evolves with the changing light of the sky—from morning to evening, across seasons—and with the shifting shades of green in the surrounding vegetation, offering a constantly renewed visual experience.
