The station has been designed in anticipation of the future
high-speed train station on the Lyon-Turin line and can
be demounted and reused to minimise its carbon footprint.
Designed to adapt to the peak season and a fixed time fram
(10 years), the project is the result of a broad reflection on the adaptability of buildings over time and the construction choices in relation to their lifespan, in keeping with our research revolving around the theme of "temporary" constructions. The prefabricated construction system contributes to maintaining a clean building site, reducing waste on site, while limiting heavy machinery. The light-weight construction of this "gallery-like" station features raw materials and is aimed at reducing energy consumption through a conception process that has focused on building volumes, compactness and sun shading as well as on the size and orientation of the bay windows.
The building features a pleated, double-pitched roof supported by a grey strip, that takes its cue from the traditional villages of the Alps while echoing the slopes of the Vanoise mountain range. The roof is the element that gives the building its
characteristic form. The canopy, which extends on both sides
of the main building, makes it look like an elegant "gallery-like station", enhancing its dialogue with its environment.
The facade cladding consists of vertical timber boards, sourced from French suppliers. The north-facing openings provide
generous natural light while limiting overheating. The entirely
glazed south-facing façade allows for natural light and sun
to flood ino the passenger and visitor areas.
Environmental metrics and solutions – EMC2B:
Energy
• Optimisation of energy consumption through natural ventilation
• Management of modular spaces designed to help handle the snowsports peak season
Materials
• CLT structure and timber cladding sourced from French forests located around the production site
Carbon
• Prefabricated construction system adapted to the lifespan
of the building
• Broader reflction on the possibility of dismantling the building
and using its materials for other purposes and on other construction sites at the end of its intended lifecycle
Climate
• Thermal comfort during winter and summer
• Largely glazed south-facing façade allowing for natural light to flood into the unheated passenger areas
• Cantilevered canopy on the south-facing façade which helps control sunlight during summer
AREP Group's mission:
Concept design of the passenger building and exterior spaces
Complete service from project creation and concept design through to practical completion
