Article source: V2S ARCHITECTES The federation of municipalities of the county of Najacis rapidly expanding. Its new needs in terms of infrastructures required the expansion of its waste treatment centre. To meet their needs, we have developed a project composed of two different parts. The first one aims at expanding and upgrading the waste treatment centre with the creation of a one-way, the installation of anti-fall devices and the materialization of the pedestrian zone.

Facing these purely technical specifications, we tried to demonstrate that architecture could be everywhere, whatever the scale and the nature of the project.

Thus, a high volume composed of two spans connects the working spaces and a low volume joins the technical and resting parts. The gap between the two entities highlights the main access.

Their undulations causea change of colors depending on the luminosity. The projecthas been built on a dark grey base thatmarks the continuity of the asphalt floor and integratesall the openings.

Indeed, a siding made of translucent polycarbonate creates a diffuse light in the working areas and wide picture windows open resting spaces onto the exterior. Through this project, we tried to prove that all the subjects and contexts deserve the same attention in terms of architectural conception.
