Text description provided by the architects. Architectural Expression - This "Port" building is located at the entrance of the center of Dingy-Saint-Clair, between Parmelan and the Dents de Lanfon. It is situated on a 9-meter strip of land, constrained by the cemetery wall on one side and a property on the other. The architecture takes advantage of this situation and extends over approximately sixty meters, with the programs for locker rooms, Club House, and Grenette succeeding one another. The regular structure is composed of 25 trusses with laminated columns and maximized cross-sections for the simple rhythm of the building. Entirely designed in Bois des Alpes and spruce to highlight the most virtuous supply chains, the framework emerges from the insulated envelope to support a secondary roof housing a photovoltaic panel installation. These panels are implemented as architectural elements rather than mere technical components; their black color gives the impression of being simply placed on wooden panels that extend at each end, suggesting that the building and its structure can be extensible.
