Design and construction of a covered outdoor bowling green in Saint-Genis-Laval (France)

SMC2 has built a covered outdoor Boulodrome with a mixed timber and steel frame and steel posts. The roof and facades are made of textile membrane.

This structure means that bowls fans can enjoy their sport at any time of year, protected from both sun and bad weather. The translucent tensioned fabric provides a shaded area while letting in natural light. The white colour reflects sunlight to provide thermal comfort inside the hall.

Finally, the use of wood for the roof structure means that the town can benefit from an eco-responsible sports facility.

The boulodrome is adjacent to a double tennis hall built by SMC2.
