Designed by Corbacreative, Customer’s program was clear and well defined. The building should include an exhibition hall on the ground floor and a loft on the first level; as well as become the image of Maison Passion. The location nearby a highly frequented artery inspired the project’s dynamic. The sequence of the vertical wooden boarding became a noise shield frontage designed along the road. The extension’s screen frontage made of thin and spaced out wood, give homogeneity to the existing volumes, heterogeneous and obsoletes, creating a succession of plans more or less translucent. It let see through the background shapes and lift up like a curtain to create the principal entrance of the exposition hall.

The FSC wooden skeleton and isolation (10 inches) make the project a low energy building. To avoid condensation problems, the whole components of the wall are made with ecological breathable materials. The migration of inside steam to an outside is regulated by a hermetic intelligent vapor barrier membrane able to open or close his permeability following the atmosphere’s pressure. We were very careful to implement health inoffensive materials, likes free-formaldehyde Oriented Strand Board or finishing panels certified only natural plaster.
