Gymnasium Plabennec is built on a site strongly characterized by the horizontality of soccer fields.

It is a real horizon landscape which allows seeing far, but also to be seen. The project interprets this character by proposing two principles: the entresol and the signal volume.

The entresol is a constructed base which includes all auxiliary spaces of the room in a North-south movement of lawn and green banks. On the East of this base, the public Hall is linked to the parking lot and on the west to the technical zones and the storages.

Above these embedded spaces, the sports room is revealed as a faceted prism which separates from the ground.This volume comprises the landscape in which it appears to float. It is covered with a uniform perforated stitch which makes it abstract and allows natural light to filter inside.

Between the two, between the base and the metal volume, wide windows bring in the spectators relationship with the surrounding landscape.

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
