French sports facility with moving parts from TNA Architectes

The Espace Pierre brings the community together with large sports areas for schools and the public, and develops the 18th century Dole city centre

by Hannah Holt 28 June 2022 Sport in architecture

The project was designed by TNA Architectes, in partnership with the Vinci Group. It features sports equipment, an omnisport event hall with bleachers, a double gymnasium, a dance hall, a climbing wall, and  indoor and outdoor pools.

The building was designed with the principle of a clear distribution of functions divided by distinct levels. Its vertical stratification, distributed by a circulation core, allows a good distinction between the different flows.

Each level of the complex - ground floor, garden level, first floor and second floor - is assigned a function. The ground floor, on the same level as the square, has a reception and a large atrium opening onto the esplanade.

The garden level features two pool halls which can be either separated or joined together, and the Nordic pool.

The first floor is reserved for "dry" sports.  It includes three gymnasiums, a dojo and a climbing hall. Whether in a group or individually, users enter a changing room dedicated to the room you are going to.

The top floor caters to events. It gives access to the stands of the honorary gymnasium; and includes a multipurpose room that can accommodate gym and yoga classes and events. It features huge bay windows and a terrace.

There is a final level, in the basement, invisible to users since it houses all the technical installations of the building.
