Looking through the Nord-Isère

Idea projektu

This project builds upon the desire for a boost to the local life. Thus, the design forms a vibrant, energetic new hub, which serves as a self-sufficient companion to the town centre. It highlights the industrial essence of LGA while introducing new sustainable opportunities both in the holistic development and in a mindful lifestyle. There is a place for everyone, a balanced combination of peaceful and buzzing, intimate while social, academic yet entertaining space, both inside & outside.

Popis projektu

The urban design concept is based on four principles with the purpose of providing a vibrant, energetic new hub for the area. These are - the integration of the prototype village into the main composition lines, the transparency of the area and the creation of composed views and perspectives, the opportunity to explore the prototypes from multiple levels and the formation of an active place that supports urban life. When designing the building for student housing, we took into account a number of aspects in order to achieve the multi-comfort accommodation. These include the orientation of the building on the N-S axis, the creation of the sight line and the zoning of the site, the use of symmetry, the zoning of the building, the passive standard design and highlightint he industrial essence of Les Grands Ateliers. Moving on to the laboratory building, which forms one of the partial landmarks of the space. It encloses the main pedestrian route and defines the two compositional axes of the area. Combined, all of the objects and the exterior create a coherent, functional space where there is a place for everyone, a balanced combination of peaceful and buzzing, intimate while social, academic yet entertaining space in & out.

Technické informace

The building is a combination of CLT panels and recycled reinforced concrete. The latter was used for fire safety. The stand-alone structure is also made of timber. This mix combines sustainable resources with practicality and functionality. Visual comfort is ensured by high quality glazing with high light transmission, composed views of the area, planted greenery, optimized daylight and flexible shading in the form of perforated sliding panels. The thermal comfort of the building is influenced by the orientation to the cardinal points and the well-designed thermal insulation envelope of the building in combination with the shading and cooling effects of the greenery. The acoustic comfort is due to the very design of the zoning, separating loud and quiet spaces, and supported by constructions with sufficient soundproofing. Comfortable climate is not only created by the HVAC units, the microclimate is also positively influenced by the rich greenery and water area in the site. The positive influence of the building is supported by minimising the impact of the construction on the surrounding area. Precise design, a high level of prefabrication, efficient mass distribution and use of symmetry in the building, recyclates and responsible waste management are just a fraction of the pillars that contribute to a sustainable complex design. This is achieved by paying great attention to detail, not only in important areas Such as connecting the structures at the corners, connecting the stand-alone balcony structure and harmonising the pa rapet wall. The holistic approach to design thus ensures the SEE-FEEL-HEAR-BREATHE pillars of multi-comfort living.
