STEP de la Feyssine

FOCUS by Xavier Patriarche

The La Feyssine wastewater treatment plant development project is part of the  landscape, alive  and scalable over time. It is a project at one with the site, stretching between the Jonage canal and the peripheral boulevard.

Apart from the operational building and the Cemagref building, the entire plant is a highly linear and relatively low civil engineering structure. It is a line stretching into the landscape, linking to the river on the horizon.

The new sludge treatment structures consist of a building with two outside silos, a digester and a gasometer. These structures, with their highly industrial connotation, have been deliberately left bare, without artifice, but will be screened by a curtain of bamboos. They will therefore be seen through a plant screen.
