John Dyer-Grimes with Kerosene architects won an open competition to design a new sports centre for a French suburb. Their idea was to create a bold aerodynamic building, which provides different elevations to each function. A wave shaped roof was introduced to allow spectacular light effects into the main gymnasium. The timber clad back elevation sits in harmony with the grass football pitches.
