Current Tenders & Competitions

The City of Parempuyre has launched a restricted design competition for the construction of a new Cultural Hub in the heart of the town centre. Located at 9 rue de la Gare within a landscaped municipal park and adjacent to the existing L’Art Y Show hall, the project will consolidate several currently dispersed facilities into a single purpose-built building. The programme brings together a Municipal School of Art (including music teaching rooms, a dance studio and visual arts workshops), a media library, a flexible 120-seat auditorium with stage and control room, and associated administrative and service spaces. Designed as a contemporary civic landmark, the building is intended to improve accessibility, functional efficiency and spatial quality while fostering interaction between artistic disciplines and community use.

With a construction budget of €4.3 million (excluding VAT), the 1,327 m² net internal area scheme is conceived as a sustainable and energy-efficient public building that responds sensitively to its park setting. The site is subject to environmental and planning constraints, including protected woodland, a safeguarded tree and identified wetland areas, requiring careful integration within the landscape. The new Cultural Hub aims to become a visible and unifying cultural anchor for Parempuyre, an inclusive, adaptable and technically robust facility capable of supporting evolving cultural practices while ensuring long-term operational and economic sustainability.
