Our journey with the company began about a year and a half ago, when they were still just looking for a property and considering various alternatives. From the first moment, we understood that the office would not look like "just another office." The people and the character of the company are full of creativity, joy of life, healthy competitiveness and much love for sports, in all its forms. Caption Caption Caption Since we had five floors of the building to plan, the concept we developed was to treat the company's offices as a sports club. Each area and use of the office were characterized as a defined sports club compound. On the entrance floor, a fan bar in the style of a classic European sports bar, a fan club on the lo... More

The swimming pool complex lies beside the entrance to the town of Fondettes, just a few kilometres from the city of Tours. The urban backdrop here is mainly residential with a housing estate. The site of the swimming pool complex is completely flat. It faces a roundabout that was recently built. Eugeni Pons The edifice plays the demanding role of signalling its presence while creating a new landscape. Its long white walls stretch afar and seem to reflect the skyline. The outline of this structure is lunar and dreamlike. It unfolds in the middle of fields, its series of concave lines culminating by the entrance to the town. With perspective, its curved walls, which extend over a hundred metres, reach spellbinding slenderness and a mesm... More

The Sporthalle+ project involves the construction of two new halls as part of the 2018 State Horticultural Show in Lahr, Baden, Germany. The two uses, multi-purpose hall and sports hall, structure the building with a staggered arrangement.

Seen from the entrance to the Park, the massing highlights the horizontality of the layout. The building features large roof overhangs that form a sheltered walkway and covered areas all around the building. Greenery plays an essential role in the appearance and layout of the building.
