SUD Architectes is pleased to share with you the first images of the Charlieu-Belmont Aquatic Center. Already open to school groups, it will be officially inaugurated on October 4.
Led by the Charlieu-Belmont Community and designed by SUD Architectes, this project replaces the old summer pool with a new, modern, sustainable, and welcoming facility.
The facility includes a lap pool, a teaching pool, an indoor water slide under a retractable roof, a sauna, and a steam room, as well as outdoor recreational areas featuring a water playground.
The architecture features simple lines that open up to the landscape and are accentuated by a wooden structure. With 2,300 m² of interior space and 2,500 m² of outdoor space, the aquatic center blends seamlessly into its surroundings.
The commitment to environmental sustainability is reflected in a wooden frame, a biomass heating system, photovoltaic panels, a perlite filtration system, and water and heat recovery systems. Washwater is reused to supply the restrooms, while heat from drain water is recovered to reduce energy consumption.
This new facility embodies a bold vision: to offer the community a space dedicated to learning, recreation, and well-being, while contributing to the region’s appeal and vitality.
