Longhouses – Villenave-d’Ornon, France
This workshop borrows its architecture from the worlds of industry and agriculture. It consists of six adjoining naves stretching from east to west along the length of a gently sloping wooded park. The wood-framed naves form a broad, pleated roof, fitted with zenithal windows that bring subdued northern light to a series of manufacturing workshops. Double posts allow rainwater downpipes to be integrated into the structure. Semi-trailers access a logistics area within the building via a ramp that spans a water garden, like a bridge. Seen from the sky, the large roof, covered in tiles, earth, glass and photovoltaic cells, forms an abstract patchwork. The entire building is suspended above its grounds, resting on a slab that lines up with the top of the slope to create a naturally lit parking area.
