MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM SODBURY
The multi-purpose room is a glassbox welcoming events, exhibitions and meetings. The main space is inhabited by a floating acoustic ceiling proposing an inverted landscape.
The multi-purpose room takes place in a garden located on old farm land. The building is a simple and compact shape made by concrete and glass. It is a 45 meter glass-box flanked by two white concrete boxes.
The building will welcome events as exhibitions, shows and meetings.
Facades are mainly glazed and, depending on weather or location, they look or transparent or big mirrors reflecting the garden. The back façade is cover with metal industrial sheet. The vertical pattern of metal extends the regular frame of the building, in an economic way.
Floating in the main room, the wood ceiling is a geometrical surface creating an inverted landscape.
This acoustic ceiling is a consisting in triangular facets in pieces of wood, creating an undulating surface suspended in the room. Design and geometry of the ceiling are generated by acoustic model of space in order to propose the good soundscape to the events to come.
Therefore, the project is a dialogue between tree elements: a garden welcoming a glass-box, inhabited the floating ceiling.
Behind thermal requirements, the reduced shape of the building reach to propose an exchange between the park and the fragmented surface of the ceiling.
