이종결합, 소통을 이야기 하다. 해변가 드라마틱한 시퀀스를 자아내는 건축물은 해양연구센터와 전망대로 이루어진 복합시설물로 해양연구를 위한 과학자 및 학생들의 공동주거가 자리한다. 저층부에 위치한 레스토랑을 포함한 상층부의 74 스튜디오 유닛을 감싸는 파사드 디자인은 건축물이 지향하는 컨셉을 이야기하는 동시에 내외부를 필터링하는 버퍼 스크린으로 사용된다. 주변 랜드스케이프로 부터 차용된 형태와 컬러는 구불구불한 해안선, 높고 낮음의 연속적인 산등성이, 그리고 다양한 곡선이 가지처럼 뻗어 있는 산호초를 직간접적으로 이야기하며 외피를 완성해 나간다. 더욱이 이러한 텍스쳐를 통해 구분되는 내외부의 관계는 외부로 부터 내부의 시선을 차단, 거주자의 안락한 생활을 보호하는 동시에 오프닝을 통한 다량의 채광과 환기 그리고 뷰를 유입시키는 소통의 막으로 제안된다. 관찰자 -거주자가 연속된 복도를 따라 움직이거나, 외부에서의 보행...-의 시점에 따라 다양한 형태로 변형되는; 형태에 투사된 빛과 그림자가 만들어 내는 무브먼트는 유동적인 막의 형성을 통한 소통의 유동성을 확보, 디자인의 당위성을 구현한다.

This project of an accommodation centre consists in a restaurant, working space for scientific research and seventy-four.
The building is part of a complex of facilities which include the oceanological research centre and observatory of Banyuls-sur-Mer, in France. This observatory is located in the middle of the marine natural reserve of Cerbères-Banyuls, in the Pyrénées orientales department. Its purpose, as a European scientific research and training centre, is to accommodate scientists and students from all over the world during short research and experimentation missions.
Location: Avenue du Fontaulé, 66 650 Banyul- sur-Mer, France
Cost: 4 900 000 euros HT
Surface: 2980 m2
Program: Residence (74 bedrooms), restaurant, workrooms, parking
Client: Laboratoire Arago - Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris
Architect: Atelier Fernandez & Serres
Office engineering: GRONTMIJ Sudéquip, Aix en Provence
The building is located on the seaside and continues along the existing topography, be it of the sky, the ground or the horizon. It reinvents the relationship between the view and the landscape, and accompanies the building height plan of the city.
Its ochre tones reflect the surrounding hills and the nature of the soil that comprises the cultivated terraces of the hinterlands. These hills covered with vineyards tower above the sea and glint with the deep earthy hues of iron oxides.
The project, a rectangular monolith entirely coated in a gown of pink-ochre coral, faces the marina. It also marks the limits of the shore and the city.
Behind this undulating envelope, access to the bedrooms is provided by large peripheral walkways that also serve as balconies for the accommodations. These walkways are covered with a self-consolidating concrete mesh inspired by a graphic, light and see-through coral design.
We developed the facades using a limited amount of distinct shapes, called strands, that were casted on site. These strands were then assembled in modules according to a simple mathematical algorithm which creates a vibration in the shadows and the matter.
The restaurant is on the second floor. Its presence is highlighted by a large breach in the coral mesh, a window inviting the landscaping inside, and offering a panoramic view of the horizon and the open sea.
The colourful concrete mesh is at the same time a balustrade and a visual filter to the sea. It provides a wall that guarantees the intimacy of users, bedrooms and walkways. It also features openings which offer a subtle variation to the framing of the near and far landscape. The gaze is attracted from the inside to the outside and reveals the landscape. The views become rhythmic, accentuated by the movements and the different uses.
The international accommodation centre of Banyuls sur Mer draws its energy from the Mediterranean Sea. Beyond simple matter, the project falls within a poetic and scientific approach in order to reveal the landscape.
