Project description
Located in the town of Vetis, just 5 km away from Satu-Mare county, this cultural-multifunctional centre has been designed on the site of a former cement plant and later a metallic products plant, aiming at bringing poetry and classical, rock and disco music lovers together. Intended to preserve the initial industrial type design, this centre has been designed as a relaxing space, the Contractor adding an English pub and a pergola for hot summer sunny days. The major challenges were the acoustics, sound insulation and fire safety, thus finding the best balance between a relaxing space and an area for live concerts in a former cement plant.
