An openwork complex made of fibre-reinforced concrete and perforated metal allows for visual uniformity of the various acoustic functions (diffuse reflection or absorption depending on the zone) and technical functions (Halfen mounting channels, very low speed HVAC air blowing, architectural lighting).
