Text description provided by the architects. An urban and landscape anchor. Situated in Épernay, the capital of Champagne, the police station is located on the outskirts of the town, at the heart of a site dominated by vineyards. It inserts itself within the confines of an old military barracks complex, of which numerous vestiges remain, and cohabits with other amenities of stature such as a secondary school and a convention centre. The implantation of the building takes advantage of a site constrained by its sloped topography, its irregular shape and the presence of polluted soil. From these constraints come a unique pentagonal morphology, which structures the project and responds to its environment.
