Project description
The monolithic inspired Centre des Congrès (Congress centre) in Jonzac, comprises several event rooms over its 3 000 m2 surface. Its entrance hall particularly challenged the contractor to high levels of technical expertise. The architect designed its spectacular high ceilings and walls, with multiple angles and slopes using Gyptone® Activ’Air®. To maximise acoustic performances, perforated panels were creatively arranged on the ceiling.
