Musée Crozatier
Le Puy-en-Velay – France, 2015
The new extension of the Crozatier Museum in Le Puy-en-Velay is clad in glass.
For this project, particular attention was given to the treatment of light. The south-facing double glass facade acts as a thermal and solar filter, helping to create a comfortable ambiance within the spaces while preserving the museum's privacy.

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.
