Prison clad in perforated weathering steel has pastel-coloured sports court



Local Architecture Network has built a minimum security prison with a perforated metal facade of weathering steel in Nanterre that has a sports court in pastel hues.
The minimum security prison is also the headquarters of the Penitentiary Services for Integration and Probation (SPIP) ? which monitors those under arrest.

Local Architecture Network (LAN) built the prison as two blocks, which surround a sports court painted in pastel colours.
The prison's exterior, has a large opening cut-out for the entrance, instead of the traditional solid boundary wall that would usually enclose an inner-city prison.

"Over time, prisons have become 'non-urban' objects, or objects 'outside the urban sphere', even when they are built in city centres," said the practice. "Often encased by a protective wall enclosing one or more buildings within, penitentiary architecture has reduced the field of action to addressing the boundary between the inside and the outside, as well as to the question of control and surveillance."

To allow a more direct connection to the surroundings, the L-shaped SPIP block faces out to the street.
It sits atop the larger prison block to form a cube, where entry is managed via a protected entry post (PEP) with a view into the internal courtyard.

While largely windowless, the weathered steel elevations include shutters that open and close automatically to regulate the level of sunlight that enters into the interior spaces...
