Activity Centre in Givors

The Givors activity centre is situated in a rural, elevated location, bordering housing developments and overlooking the Gier and Rhône valleys. Built close to the slope, the L-shaped building maximises the available land and offers two single-storey floors, making it easy for children to navigate and use. The design sets a concrete base, firmly anchored to the ground, against a light, timber-framed upper floor that opens generously onto the surrounding landscape.
