General presentation
At the center of the resort of Juan-les-Pins, Antipolis is ideally located 150 m from the sea, opposite the Gould pine forest and within walking distance of 1,000 hotel rooms. Designed by the architect Jean-Jacques Ory, the convention centre offers an attractive setting on a human scale, perfectly suited to professional events of 20 to 500 people for conferences and up to 2,500 people for its overall capacity. It offers bright, well-designed and highly functional spaces for all types of business events, including conferences, symposia, conventions, seminars, product launches and workshops...

Location History
The ambition of the architectural project lies in showcasing the site and the sea through windows opening onto the sea and visual filters through the pine forest.
The major challenge is to ensure a functional, fluid link and clear public and logistical accessibility, as the facility offers a range of functions: shops, cultural events, parking, simultaneously and on a daily basis. The site brings together a plenary hall, auditorium, foyer, shops built around an internal street, logistics and parking facilities.
The shape of the pebble, the result of all these functional ambitions, rests on the top of the pine forest, topped by a metal canopy. The curved main body of the building enjoys a panoramic view of the sea gliding over the pinewood treetops. This pebble is supported by two compact, transparent buildings, linked by the internal street that follows the historic route of the Galice passage.
The canopy harmonises the whole with a lightness that integrates functionality, logistics and technology. The fluidity of the site is ensured by the interplay of terraces and promenades in the shade of the pine forest, which has been preserved and restored.
The permeability with the environment is based on the steep slope of the land and the landscape composition as a fundamental approach to the composition of the whole. The scale of the architectural intervention coincides with this exceptional site.
