Project description

Located in an urban area, the equestrian centre is set on a compact plot between a public park and sports facilities. Built in several phases, it brings together stables, a club house, an outdoor arena, an indoor arena and a paddock. The project aims to provide facilities suited to horse riding while ensuring animal welfare at the heart of a dense urban environment. Mainly built in timber, the buildings are clad with boarding painted in red shelly sand that refers to the local brick heritage. The indoor arena has a three-dimensional structure covered with a tensioned fabric roof.
