Stands of the sports complexe La Couldre, Montigny-le-Bretonneux
The sports stand is situated on a rectangular lot between two athletic fields. Its base is concrete, massive and mineral, contrasting with the lightness of the polycarbonate cover. The simple volume, based on repetitive elements, is an economic solution. Open to both sides, the stands offer a panoramic view of the site : the adjoining premises located in the base give onto a wood terrace, extending beyond the bleachers.
