PERNOD RICARD UNIVERSITY
Domaine de La Voisine,
Clairefontaine en Yvelines, France
The Pernod Ricard Group recently added its first university campus
to its resources. This high-tech complex is designed around four
“moments” – work, relaxation, accommodation and convivialité.
It boasts four main centres, four different architectural styles and
four materials: stone, wood, concrete and metal.
The project has gained the BREEAM certification of “Very Good”
because it embraces the concepts of sustainability that make it
architecturally cutting edge in terms of technology, energy efficiency
and respect for the environment.
The learning centre is symbolic of the entire project. Its structure
seems to disappear into its setting, thanks to the purity of its forms
and the chosen materials: the reflection of the surrounding nature
on its mirrored facades creates the effect of extending the park,
playing as it does with the light and the scenery.
Litus 2.4 uplights have been used in the outdoor walkway next to the
reception, housed in the structure known as “le Prieuré” (the Priory).
In the walkways around the outside of this building, the Parisian
lighting design studio Distylight used 12W Plin 1.1 bollards with
a 3000K colour temperature, diffuse optics and a cor-ten finish.
The head containing the light source is tilted by 45°: the resulting
controlled downward beam avoids light dispersion.
