The Mesnil Amelot sports facility brings together fun and sporting activities, combining fitness and leisure in all seasons around water, ice and bowling. This project focuses on the dialogue of the seasons: interior gardens which offer transparency and transverse views, depths bathed in sunlight and an artifice of nature opening onto the exoticism of travel in the differentiated atmospheres of the gardens and water in all its forms.

Thus the three entities, swimming pool, ice rink and indoor street, are distinguished by the vegetal universe that they represent. The swimming pool, thanks to the tropical garden, dense, humid, colorful, is in harmony with the humidity and ambient heat. The ice rink organized around its polar garden, is marked by the white and blue lights of the ice.

The interior street opens onto the Mediterranean garden. Orange trees, olive trees, ferns and fragrant flowers form the backbone of the equipment from the forecourt to the garden of the outdoor pools. Thus, the themeof the Mesnil Amelot sports center comes from the fun and sporting practices. The theme of the seasons and vegetal universes makes this equipment unique by the attention paid to users and to the plant universes that they see, feel and explore.
