The City of Pessac wishes the uniting of all the technical services in order to optimize them as well as the ateliers and the movings. The City also wants a new identity and readability for the future technical pole. The main issue for the project is to reconcile an equipment with an industrial type in a natural, wooded and green zone. To answer that, we worked on the existing area where the project can naturally take place.
Thus, we created different principles:
– to integrate the project in the heart of the Bourgailh park with volumes having a chromatic scale close to the natural colors of the pines and the sky
– to initiate an architectural and functional choice that is simple, readable and minimalist
– to create a coherence link between the constructive choice and the program needs: structuring basis, alignment, crossbars, wood, skins, circulations…
– to research comfort and energy savings (bioclimatic principles, natural ventilation, acoustics)
– to develop an architecture with progressive and modular spaces, a free and flexible platform fully lighted by natural light (sheds, large lateral opening)
– to pay a particular attention to the separation of flows and technical circulations (trucks, imposing machines) with the personal and the public.
