The building is a multi-gym facility with shared use for the citizen of Vincennes and the highschool pupils next door. The solution consists of creating a real "showcase" for sports activities by designing a glass topped copper cladded volume. The copper skin adds depth and gives the building a lighter and elegant look. As time goes by, its color changing into green, the building wants to assimilate the "language" of the buildings surrounding it. The lead to the entrance, situated in the middle of a small pedestrian pathway, has been designed as a running track. The sticking out glazed volume of the staircase, connecting the different levels of the new sport facility, contributes to attract the inhabitants of Vincennes.
