Located at the gateway to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, this two-volume photovoltaic canopy stands as a major urban signal for the multimodal hub. Its slender silhouette and curved roofs boldly reinterpret the modernist heritage of Les Arcs, breathing aerial dynamism into the site. Crafted from local timber, this structure allies elegance and robustness to shelter commuters under a luminous canopy. This architectural gesture reconciles utility and aesthetics, transforming a technical infrastructure into a powerful visual landmark that magnifies the alpine landscape.
