A faceted roof encircles a central courtyard<\/a> at \u00c9cosyst\u00e8me D, an energy hub and engineering workspace in Dunkirk designed by architecture studios Sn\u00f8hetta<\/a> and Santer Vanhoof.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Sn\u00f8hetta<\/a> and Santer Vanhoof<\/a>, the 1,200 square metres of photovoltaic panels that top the angular roof produce more energy than the building consumes. The surplus energy is distributed to the surrounding port development, which is currently being transformed into an innovation hub.<\/p>\n

Made from a wooden structure clad in metal panels, \u00c9cosyst\u00e8me D contains a technology hall, an incubator, a training centre, a showroom and workspaces.<\/p>\n

It was designed to facilitate research and training in renewable energy through collaborations with industrial and institutional partners, including engineering schools and companies committed to decarbonisation.<\/p>\n

“Rooted in the port landscape of Dunkirk, \u00c9cosyst\u00e8me D is a positive energy building designed to serve as a catalyst for energy transition,” said Sn\u00f8hetta.<\/p>\n

“The entire structure is part of a low-impact, bioclimatic architecture that embodies innovation.”<\/p>\n
