Sustainable development approach of the project owner

Excerpt from the contest program:

Offer of the high level of comfort conditions

( ch. HQE)

The designer must propose a project that respects all the constraints and requirements relating to the comfort of the staff during work and relaxation, as well as for all visitors

The architecture should provide solutions for a high level of comfort and therefore the satisfaction of users in terms of acoustics, lighting, taking into account climate data and space functionality.

The qualities of space, clarity, fluidity and acoustics should apply to all workplaces but also to the relaxation areas of staff and public reception.

By its choice of location and design, the designer will have to provide satisfactory solutions, particularly in the following areas:

- promote the acoustic protection of all premises,

- to favor the natural light of all the premises despite the constraints related to the low sunshine of the Plaine des Palmistes,

- to favor the natural ventilation of all the premises while guaranteeing quality conditions of

the air in order to avoid the inconvenience associated with the high humidity of the climate of the Plaine des Palmistes.

- to allow the management of the temperature of the offices summer as hive r,

Architectural description

Extract of the notice of the contest:

The duparc house must be an illustration of the park's missions , a tool As said the program, which can express the originality of these missions ... the house of the park can not be conceived as a confinement , a new theater of administrative power, a "reiteration" to use the language of the ecologists of a formeassise and historical like that which is the house of the turrets.

In a high village, marked by the modesty of its inheritance built in a vegetal matrix, certainly todayadded and subject to the insatiable appetite of invasive species (to which species we could easily add concrete, asphalt and fences .... ), the house of the park interferes in a free movement allowing to pass, to live and to develop the original reconstituted vegetal matrix ....

Here, sacred soil , magical epidermis and essential to the original biodiversity, manager of the hydrological impacts, already wounded by the human artifice, it is then the most preserved possible, in order to satisfy its essential missions: its global role of terrestrial epidermis, interface interlithosphere and atmosphere. This posed, the site is then constructible.

Pointing its orientation towards the climatic clock of the rains indicated by the waterfall Biberon , the House of the Park seconcentre in its site, the one that the ecologists attribute to him , and unfolds itself in arms or troncspaysagers, by opening the panorama towards the ramparts, and privileging the moreproche to exalt the force.

Along this line of sight towards the waterfall column of Cascade Biberon is a simple dividing line with eastward the spaces of the personnel and towards the West the open and panoramic space of the reception . This one, touching the vegetal ridge reinforced and revitalized by the project, unfolds towards the big landscape while protecting itself from the views of the "street". Lamise in theatrical scene of the valued landscape is thus magnified.

The workplaces of the teams stretch out in three branches, seeking each saposition to the light, in the manner of sciaphile species orienting their leaves to seize the thin luminosities offered by the environment. These workplaces, decreation, sharing and consultation, enjoy a large centralrécréatif quiet space, open to the landscape of the eastern wall of the Plain. On the national side, their gears emerge as enigmatic signals drowned in the reconstituted vegetable sands.

Between these two opening movements, there is a ramp leading to the observatory of landscapes suspended above the territory. The dynamics of the composition is an invitation to travel ...

In this immersion in the environment, the environmental value of the project is played out.

If, punctually, the natural stone comes to clad outdoors to be inhabited by primitive lichens and mosses or other ferns, wood and dry structures is the guest of the environmental project, the concrete being restricted to the strict minimum of the foundations reduced to the finest . Salty and traumatic dechantier point for the site, since the VRD (Roads and various networks) becomes landscape and the building mechanized game dry storing C02 ... .The materials of the architectural project are melted in nature: raw wood of shingles of tamarind, basalt with lichen, zinc of variable shade , transparent glass ... leaving the interior colors of the workspace to resonate freely.

The bioclimatic project , in addition to a strictly limited system and a climatic buffer in the North, proposes an active system only for recreational winter stoves for reception areas and staff; the artefacts are generated by the built envelope which constitutes itself the "climate machine with comfort". But, beyond the "physical" comfort, the park house is conceived as an inviting support for creative and involved work; to be well, to co-exist with its environment, its anthropic part, it is the starting point so that the park can exalterses missions and to invite each one with the respect of the biodiversity of Reunion.

If you had to do it again?

This project and one of the emblematic achievements of our agency. Some improvements could have been made: Use of tamarind shingles (local wood) instead of red cedar (cost problem). Reuse of rainwater for toilet water (initially planned but abandoned by the building owner). Increase of the glass area of some offices on the ground floor to improve the autonomy in natural lighting. Use of sourced organic insulation instead of polystyrene graphite (no technical advice available for ERP at the time) In order to optimize the comfort of offices in winter, the VMC could be improved by reversing the circuit: extracting warmer air on the floor and blowing on the ground floor.

Water management

  • Estimated load :
    Dimensioning of wastewater treatment works
    50 l x 50 staff = 2500 liters
    10 l x 100 visitors = 1000 liters
    This makes a volume of 3500 liters. a pit of 5 m3 (10 EH) will have a good margin in terms of prior treatment

Comfort

    Visual comfort

    With regard to the large landscape, the reduction of the visual impact of the park house will be controlled, in addition to the very vegetal environment, by the absence of too light colors, white abuse for example, but rather very "natural". The effects of the outer skin, zinc, shingles, composite panels, transparencies, will have low reverberation effects, and the house will be very discreetly perceived in its echevégétal. Of course in the night situation, the house of the Park has the duty to have gone out to let live to compose with the cycles nycthéméraux ... only very discrete LEDs will be disposed on the central axis of composition, no lighting is placed on the facades, neither foreseen for the gardens, only will be perceived through the built transparencies the inevitable but modest security lighting

    The visual comfort of the premises is determined in particular by the orientation of the facades to the North and South. The sun will be adapted for the facades and are limited in number because of the main orientation of the premises. In the North, the overhangs of the covers make it possible to respond strictly to the summer comfort while avoiding the sunshine of the offices, while in Winter, this one can penetrate and be controlled by the occupant. The southern lighting optimizes the useful depth of the rooms, illuminated from the two preferential orientations of comfort. The West and East lights are carefully avoided for work premises, and if they exist (reception room) they are treated by adapted sun visors.

    The views

    The major spaces are oriented towards the large landscape of the ramparts for the reception areas and the conviviality area of the offices, and for the premises of the management, which benefit from a private "panoramic" terrace.

    The offices have views to foissur the great landscape (especially moving) and to the inner gardens interfering between the bars of premises.

    Of course, the reception room is privileged by its panoramic position unfolding its facade along a natural bi-boundary belvedere, that of the restored forestation in the foreground and in the background of the rampart left bank of the Plain, the most preserved being representative the endemism of the environments to be protected

    We can not say also the benefit of the integration of parking areas in "open basement" releasing the material of living soil and participating proximity comfort of the living spaces of the Park House, and not with "view of bitumen cars" as too often ... ..

    Protection against interior noise

     

    The provisions for the work premises comply with standard NF X 35 102 (ergonomic design of work spaces), namely in particular for the acoustic environment:

    · Continuous sound level below 55 dB (A) - this value is a maximum not possible, the value retained will be 50dB (A)

    · For the reverberation time, an average reverberation of 0.6 s between 0.3 and 0.8s will be used - the surfaces of the false ceilings are minimized in the case of flexible floors.

    The sound insulation between separated offices is 40 dB (A) (dry partition walls type FERMACEL with insulation or equivalent)
