The “Biomass boiler house and its heating network” project is presented as a functional and sustainable solution. The biomass boiler is built around an elevated dock to the west of the plot dedicated to unloading and a lower dock to the east giving access to it. The storage silos inscribed in the natural topography of the site facilitate the unloading of heavy vehicles. The intensive landscaping of the plot allows the project to blend harmoniously into its near and far environment. The lining of the docks is built of permeable honeycomb slabs, it contributes to the green identity of the site and to the zero discharge of rainwater from the plot.
