Dominique Coulon & Associés, based in the east of France, is famous for its masterful use of color. The firm recently completed a sports hall, a performing arts center, and a media library all in France. Check out these stunning public projects below: 

The 'Human Rights' Sports Center, located in Strasbourg, was recently completed in December 2017. The center consists of a sports hall, a multi-purpose hall, changing rooms, an infirmary, and staff accommodations.

The sports center was built in conjunction with a local school created to serve international civil servants working in the city. The two halls were built to accamodate multiple sports and serve as a venue for various events. 

The firm also completed the ‘Théodore Gouvy’ Theater, located in Freyming-Merlebach, in April of 2017. The old 500 seat theater needed an update with a new building and a new site for expansion. 

Now seating 700, the theater optimized visibility in the auditorium with the most distant spectator located only twenty meters from the front of the stage.

The updated performing arts center accommodates multidisciplinary programming such as classical theatre (including the use of large-scale sets), contemporary theatre, musical theatre and opera, and dance. 

Another noteworthy public project is the The Media library in Thionville completed by the firm in September of 2016. Apart from its library, the building houses creative studios, a broadcasting media room, an auditorium, areas for displays, and a café-restaurant. 

The Media Library features a garden ramp leading outside and upwards to a summer bar at the culminating point of the architectural promenade. 

Creative cocoon spaces include a storytelling area, language laboratories, places for playing video games, and a plastic arts room.
