Youth Center and Sports Concept Design by KOZ Architects

March 13, 2010 Filed Under: Homes Design

Located in Saint-Cloud, This youth center and sports concept design was created by Paris-based KOZ Architects. These youth center and sports facility is made up of prefabricated concrete load-bearing panels. The molded and tinted reinforced concrete contrasts with the colored surfaces of the laminated panels. The tinted glass facades provide good protection against setting sun and long-lasting color. The main facade is made of tinted glass with a color gradient from red to green. The other 3 facades are more homogeneous, albeit colored, too.

The 17,000-square-foot, $5.75 million recreation center was KOZ’s first project in prefab concrete; everything had to be flawlessly planned and drawn in advance, with little scope for making adjustments later. Only the largest interior columns were poured on site. Despite significant challenges, partners Christophe Ouhayoun and Nicolas Ziesel say they would use the panel system again. “The production aspect is perfect,” says Ouhayoun.
