The future largest covered athletics hall in Europe is being built in Miramas, in the South of France.

The glue-laminated timber frame structure is designed by SMC2 with the architectural firms of Chabanne and RILL and the Valéry Calvi design office.

The building is covered by a double textile membrane and the façades are made of translucent textile, allowing natural light to pass through but filtering the weather.
