In close collaboration with Sweetch Energy and a team of engineers from EDF, the renowned French-German architects from chaixetmorel. have developed a unique architectural language that bestows a visionary form upon the generators.

Osmosis generators harness the natural process of osmosis energy which is is generated by the difference in salinity between fresh water from rivers and sea water when they meet. Sweetch Energy’s INODÒ innovative technology is based on a new generation of nanoscale membranes specifically designed to harness osmotic energy. It enables the production of clean and competitive electricity from salt water, a permanent and abundant source of energy that has not been exploited to date. The collaboration between Sweetch and chaixetmorel. creates an inspiring connection between technology and aesthetics. The architects have translated Sweetch Energy's osmosis generators into futuristic structures that are both functional and visually compelling.

These new power plants, which are neither polluting nor noisy or hazardous, present entirely new possibilities for integration into natural or inhabited environments. Therefore, this groundbreaking technology also deserves a new architectural concept that can be open and transparent, without the need for extensive, hermetically sealed structures. The heavy rack structures, through which freshwater and saltwater flow, are enveloped by an ecologically and economically optimized lightweight construction.

To address this, the architecture company chaixetmorel., based in Paris, Berlin, and Vienna, has designed an architectural language that is not only aesthetically appealing but also meets practical requirements. The construction bears resemblance to the renowned realizations of the textile concert halls Zenith in Paris and Montpellier, originally conceived as temporary installations, by the office that has not lost any of its relevance.
