Two materials harmonise the external façades:

-The Douglas fir, a European pine, in vertical cladding and horizontal openwork.

- Light-grey lacquered metal.

Wood gives the entire structure meaning with the wooden framework and timber frame walls and it is present in the inner cladding.

Coloured glazing highlights the different accesses to the hall and the changing rooms.

The construction meets the necessary requirements of the French ‘High Quality Environmental standards’.

The building has low energy consumption with strengthened insulation, a green roof and double flow ventilation.
