ATELIER ONE SHAPE
AN INNOVATING SHIPYARD
Innovation and environmental performance
In the spring of 2023, we launched the construction of our new shipyard, the Atelier One Shape, next to the cargo port of La Pallice. This 3,800 m² building, located on a 16,000 m² plot of land, will house the production of 8 to 10 giant multihulls each year. This project demonstrates our commitment to combining innovation and environmental performance.
A POSITIVE-ENERGY, LOW-CARBON SHIPYARD
A 3 800m² factory
Innovation and sustainability at the heart of the project
The Yacht Concept design office and Chantier de l’Arsenal are at the heart of the creation of Atelier One Shape, an ambitious project designed to combine technological innovation with respect for the environment. The 3,800 m² building, designed on a 16,000 m² site, is a model of sustainability. By choosing bio-sourced materials such as French wood and wood fiber, and integrating ecological technologies such as geothermal energy and photovoltaic panels, Atelier One Shape far exceeds environmental standards. This project is fully in line with the “La Rochelle Territoire Zéro Carbone” objective for 2040.
A modern shipyard
A green growth engine
In addition to its ecological performance, the Atelier One Shape represents a real growth lever for Chantier de l’Arsenal. It will considerably increase the company’s manufacturing capacity for composite parts, thanks to two 25-meter flat molds. This modern building supports the local economy by creating jobs and reinforcing the role of the La Rochelle region in shipbuilding. Atelier One Shape embodies a vision of a sustainable future, where innovation and respect for the environment come together.
ON-SITE COLLABORATION AND PROJECT MONITORING
Design office on site
Greater synergy between Chantier de l’Arsenal and Yacht Concept
Atelier One Shape will house the 27-strong Yacht Concept design team directly on site. This proximity to the Chantier de l’Arsenal promotes optimum synergy between design and construction, guaranteeing innovative technical solutions and personalized support at every stage of the project. The presence of this team on site also means greater responsiveness and flexibility. This will reduce validation times and facilitate real-time adjustments, while ensuring fluid coordination between technical teams and other trades.
A sustainable approach to shipbuilding
Sustainable, high-performance offices
The design office space at Atelier One Shape is designed to encourage innovation and efficiency. Its architecture has been optimized to foster collaboration and creativity, with a bright, comfortable and eco-responsible working environment. The office benefits from sustainable materials, natural thermal comfort and innovative energy systems, guaranteeing an energy-efficient working environment. These offices support productivity while exceeding environmental standards. In this way, they promote a sustainable approach to shipbuilding.
A strategic location
Next to the Port Atlantique La Rochelle – La Pallice
The location of our new workshop has been carefully considered to maximize its accessibility and potential. Indeed, with our location close to the port of La Pallice, we have direct access to the launching docks, optimizing the logistics of our operations. Our shipyard extends over a vast, well-positioned plot of land, ideal for the development of our future projects.
