Precedent Study-Les Bains des Docks

Les Bains des Docks by Jean Nouvel, located in Le Havre, France.

Les Bains des Docks is a public bathhouse and community center that serves the general public with a wide variety of activity support that includes a kid’s play area, a lap pool, and pools for relaxing. Light is an important sensory experience in this building, as there are many skylights that let in light that bounces off the water and stark white walls. This building is important because of the way it interacts with light and is diverse in its activity support.
