Creation
Musée Crozatier
Le Puy-en-Velay – France, 2015
The new extension to the Musée Crozatier in Le Puy-en-Velay is dressed in glass.
For this realisation, special attention was given to how the light should be treated. The south-facing double glass skin acts as a heat and solar filter, and contributes towards creating a comfortable indoor environment whilst preserving the Museum’s intimacy.

Technique
The glass is structured with a stone relief. This gives each glass pane a unique and random texture. The glass facade consists of 400 thermoformed and tempered glass panels measuring 12 mm.
