PORT OF CALL AT BAINS DES DOCKS
In 2008, the Ateliers Jean Nouvel won the contract for the renewal of the port of Le Havre, along with the creation of an innovative swimming pool complex. A project to match the size of the site: 8,600m2 of usable space, sheltered behind a dark façade which masks the purity and originality of the interior.
WHAT'S 'NOUVEL' IN LE HAVRE?
Three main spaces are spread around a central lobby: a heated outdoor Olympic-sized swimming pool measuring 50 by 21 meters; an indoor-outdoor leisure pool; and a spa center.
A combination of modern and natural, the architecture is inspired by natural rock pools and plays on a raw geometry, with alternating massive blocks and random openings.
Overhead light enters through numerous wells, creating a soft mood, perfect for relaxation.
