IDOM was awarded first place in the public tender for the Saint Pierre Administrative Center project in Reunion Island. A location close to the Indian Ocean, which enjoys native vegetation and is incorporating different vertical gardens throughout its envelope and interior patios.
The project is divided into three urban pieces interconnected with each other, taking up the well-known type of open central courtyard and solving the internal displacement with a double circulation bay. Managing to organize the architectural program of offices, restaurants and other uses, in relation to a vertical void.

The Saint Pierre Administrative Center proposed by IDOM, projects the southern enclosure with an open facade that faces the prevailing winds. Making cross ventilation flow to the botanical garden located in front of the existing City Hall building. The facades host other native species that are interspersed in the terraces giving vegetable continuity to all surfaces.
The vegetation, together with the double skin of the vertical mobile slats, improves the climatic conditions of the building and its energy efficiency. Stabilizing the temperatures and blurring the direct solar entrance towards the interior. A project that seeks to revitalize the area where it is inserted and bring bioclimatic concepts from the lower levels to the terraced vegetation cover.

Project description by IDOM
Winner of a public competition, the Administrative Center of Saint Pierre (Reunion Island) project will house the future Town Hall of the Reunion City, the offices of the Local Police, a panoramic restaurant and two floors of public/private parking.
Close to both the Indian Ocean and the historic Colonial Town Hall of Saint Pierre, the proposed building is the result of the combination of climatic, urban, and programmatic factors.
The proposed complex is distributed in three strategically connected volumes. Each volume has a double bay and the lower part is arranged around an open patio, with the aim of capturing the prevailing winds to use natural ventilation.
The complex offers a more fragmented and open façade facing the ocean, the origin of air currents. On the other hand, on its opposite façade, the building is more institutionalized, becoming the new backdrop for the botanical garden in front of the existing town hall. The façade welcomes the native vegetation on its terraces and at the same time responds to bioclimatic premises, with a double cladding of mobile slats that guarantee optimal shading from the sun.
The commission covers all the disciplines involved in the urban development project and landscaping of the plot, in addition to the disciplines associated with the construction of the new building. IDOM will be responsible for the project from conception to Project Management.
