The planted roof will help to keep the building cool in summer and warm in winter
association with Frederic Magnien Architect have revealed their plans for Green Wave, which focuses on the con- struction of a ‘planted wave’ covering the pool hall under its curve. At the eastern part of the planned hall, there will be a fountain pool off er- ing a view of the sky. The bioclimatic planted roof has been designed to absorb heat in winter and to naturally ventilate the hall in summer. Royat’s thermal springs have been popular for ‘cures’ since Roman times.
