Text description provided by the architects. The project is located in the city of Mouvaux in the north of France.
The multi-activities indoor hall is revealed by an imbrication of volumes. Each volume represents a specific function : the first one, on the entrance square, hosts the gymnastic room, overhung by a second volume occupied by the dance hall. The third volume, opened on the other side of the city, shows the most impressive part of the program : the multisport hall.
3D ExplosedThis strong volumetric expression is sublimated by a subtle treatment of the facades.
The facades highlight the volumes. Each aims to express their own identity by the way the materials are implemented.

This largely closed volume is perforated with free and targeted openings, creating a dynamic relationship with the various environments present in the urban context in which the multi activity hall sets up.

From the inside, the filter created by the u-glass offers an interesting play of shadows with the surrounding trees and the life of the city. From the outside, this opalescent glass reveals the life inside the room. The part of clear glass on the ground floor allows passersby to sit in the stands integrated into the vegetation.

It seeks to express the dual identity of the site: on the square side, a work on the modesty and subtlety and on the garden side a play with translucency.
© Sergio GraziaOur work was motivated by the intention to give a strong identity to the multi-activity hall and to Mouvaux’s citycentre
The project has been designed in order to respect the existing context and with the conscious that an innovation in the space would serve the new urban dynamic

Un village éphémère festif débarque à côté de Lille ce week-end
2020Save this storySaveSave this storySaveNestled into a wooded lot in Mouvaux
a commune of nearly 14,000 people outside of Lille
is a quaint home that looks as if it has been pulled from the pages of a contemporary fairy tale—perhaps one that might even feature extraterrestrials
designed by architects Olivier Camus and Lydéric Veauvy of local firm TANK
makes use of rustic wood elements in the context of a striking boomerang-shaped building
desired a modern home capable of slipping effortlessly into the beautiful field of tall trees,” says Camus
“They evoked a ‘secret and natural’ house and introduced us to some architectural references
in particular the work of Charlotte Perriand.”
The roof is the most distinctive part of the structure
its angular wooden form seemingly hovering above the ground
thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows that reflect the surrounding trees and contribute to this illusion
“The roof is made of a waterproof membrane
protected by a wooden over-roof in local oak wood
which shields the membrane from any leaves and UV rays,” says Camus
as Frank Lloyd Wright designed in some of his house projects.”
The interiors blend modern and rustic details
where you’ll find exposed wood on the ceiling
and walls of the geometric minimalist spaces
each illuminated with plenty of natural light
“The idea of wood came through the development of the concepts of two strong universes,” says Camus
“The ground floor is situated under the seemingly weightless floating shell of the roof
and therefore displays a maximum of wood materiality.” The ground floor
is more about opening up to nature through the vast windows

french firm LAN architecture designed collective and individual housing in mouvaux
their proposal takes into consideration themes such as town houses
cars and hierarchical organization of public and collective spaces as well as environmental quality
through analysis of uses and architecture types composing the urban morphology of mouvaux
an intermediate housing environment able to conjugate desire of intimacy as well as sociability
the project’s aim is to build new buildings presenting the same qualities and facilities of a single family house by adding collective spaces
they imagined several spatial systems leading to create a rich and diversified image for each program’s part
inhabitants of mouvaux were essentially dedicated to the textile industry
the new housing fronts depicts patterns based on the geometrical work of the fabric
general info: program: construction of 117 housing units (84 social housing units and 33 private housing units) and retails location: ZAC centre ville de mouvaux date: 2009 client: nacarat – groupe G.H.I
– notre logis cost: 12,1 million euro size: 13 000 m² timetable: 2009 – 2013

Margaret Gateley will sign the English version of the formal twinning with Neukirchen-Vluyn
as well as marking twenty years of Buckingham’s twinning with Mouvaux
To celebrate Buckingham Town Council is hosting Twinning in the Market - a musical celebration of France
a German oompah band ‘Edelweiss All Stars’ and local morris dancers the Brackley Morris Men
with each act performing in front of the Old Gaol in Buckingham from 10 am until 2 pm on Saturday 19th March
who will be welcoming the visitors said
“It is a great honour and pleasure to welcome the Mayors of Mouvaux and Neukirchen-Vluyn alongside other guests to Buckingham this weekend for our long-awaited celebration of our three-way partnership
It is particularly important to further such friendships between nations in the light of what is going on elsewhere in our world.”

the building has been designed as a simple volume that engages in a subtle
proportional play with its terraced façades to the south and west

the building designed by TANK forms part of a residential development that also includes a separate structure by agence guervilly
the plot was initially destined to accommodate a cluster of freestanding houses
however it evolved to a scale intimately linked to the existing topography and vegetation
with 50% of the world’s population now living in cities
the development seeks to address the future of the environment in (sub)urban areas
the project aims to foster a sense of community sustainability
while preserving the singularity of the territory at the same time
as reports suggest that 82% of the french population prefer to live in individual houses
despite territorial sprawl and increased transport times
the design team sought to find a balance between shared and individual living
this strategy made it possible to embrace and preserve the site’s environmental features and to design a collective housing project in which the human dwelling retains the domestic qualities of a singular house: comfort and intimacy
the two buildings are surrounded by a natural terrain with a sheltered forest and a creek running between them
TANK’s three-storey design has a formal simplicity that seeks to retain and complement the beauty of the existing natural habitat so as to form a mixed and balanced environment
a parking area for cars is found below ground
the housing units comprise five different configurations with double height spaces and private loggias
the multi-orientation and flexible plan of the units ensures that the interiors benefit from natural light
and natural extensions towards the exterior
special attention has been paid to the use of light
bringing the exterior inside and reflecting the ever-changing pattern of light as well as the natural setting
