Mining Innovation Centre - Orano

Bessines sur Gartempe (87)

This is a laboratory building with a highly distinctive function. Given its location, overlooking the rest of the site, we paid special attention to the materials for the façade. A wooden mesh was chosen to blend the building in more harmoniously with its surroundings and bring an environmental dimension to the site, which has strong ‘nuclear’ connotations.
