Pôle Raquettes Jacques Donnay

Les Acacias Sociocultural Centre brings together cultural activities and childcare facilities within a single community building. Organised as five connected pavilions, the project reduces its scale to relate to the surrounding houses and neighbouring town hall. Generous glazed façades, concrete porticoes and rooflights introduce natural light and open the interiors toward the street and gardens. A new public garden and improved pedestrian connections further integrate the centre into the urban fabric.
