IASO project in Reims

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project aims to provide a natural light entrance to the recreational aqua complex in the city of Reims. One of the main elements of the intervention is the roof that protects the complex. The aim is to create a space of comfort that has natural light and is protected from inclement weather; a recreational space at the service of users and visitors.

The roof is a metal truss structure, with an exterior finish in white PVC sheeting; 8 elongated, elliptical geometry skylights of varying lengths open up in the roof.

The membrane covering the skylights is made of a 3 layer ETFE sheet system with an inflated cushion.

The perimeter of each skylight is made of aluminium profiles, to which the 3-layer cushions are fixed. Most of them have the following configuration: 200 µm top layer screen-printed with white hexagons, 250 µm transparent flat middle layer and 150 µm transparent bottom layer.

The junction between the aluminium profiles and the roof is finished with an inner aluminium sheet that supports 50 mm of thermal insulation, with a top flashing in RAL 9010 lacquered sheet to match the aluminium profiles. The whole creates a monochromatic white finish between the ETFE screen printing, the aluminium profiles, the flashings and the PVC waterproofing of the roof.
