The equipment is installed on
the ground floor and first floor of an apartment building constructed in the
1970’s. Architecture of the building is an own identity, to show the
specificity of the use of public equipment.
The project proposes a special
treatment for the angle of the area and development of the boundaries of
property by a set of levels and fencing walls.
The outer area of the equipment is clearly bounded public space by a
solid wall along the sidewalk, absorbing a significant elevation of 1.40 meter.
Outdoor spaces are protected from urban traffic nuisances. Raised, equipment
dominates public space.
The new volumes in lightweight
structures are treated differently: on the south side with more
"urban" (steel and Trespa) approach in continuity with the façades on
street. On the east side extensions are treated as volumes largely glazed into
the gardens and shaded by two large existing trees. This diversity of volumes, colors and
materials to create an intimate and varied universe adapted to the scale of
small users.
A terrace of water games has
created on the south side, sheltered and protected by a screen wall street made
concrete matrix with matrices with bamboo shoots. A small volume produced in
natural wood siding is located in the middle of the garden, to delineate the
different respective sections use spaces. This volume also serves as a shelter
for the storage of outdoor games. This volume not closed, also offers direct
access to the garden patrons to the floor through a gateway and a stair wood
serving incidental emergency exit.
