Atelier fERRET has been invited to compete in the construction of an aquatic facility in Forges-les-Eaux (76)

MAIN CHALLENGES OF THE OPERATION :

• Social: To provide an aquatic solution that meets a wide range of needs and promotes swimming skills learning.
• Functional: To achieve optimal functioning adapted to the purpose of the facility while minimizing operational constraints.
• Architectural: To create a landmark at the entrance to the city, giving the facility a strong identity, while minimizing the built structure’s impact on its surroundings.
• Urban: The integration will foster visual connections (see without being seen) and align with the overall development of the area.
• Performance: Through techniques, materials, and implementation processes that must be tested, reliable, and sustainable. These elements should help optimize the balance between lifespan, usage modes, and operating costs.
• Sustainable: By developing systems that conserve resources.
• Ease of maintenance and upkeep: Including synergies between the local facilities and equipment.
