Riving og nybygning for Beaulieu

The exhibition hall forming the south wing of the Beaulieu complex in Lausanne no longer met modern multi-purpose facility standards, prompting a comprehensive study. This study led to the decision to demolish the existing building and construct a new one as part of a major modernization project for the entire sector.

Strenge krav for rask ferdigstillelse

The project demanded strict execution conditions to minimize disruption to Beaulieu's event schedule, resulting in the completion of the extensive structure in just 48 weeks. The façade treatment was carefully chosen to create visual unity within the ensemble, including the tower and halls. The building's interior was designed to meet operational requirements, using colors from the theatrical world to highlight different spaces economically.

14,000 m² åpent rom uten søyler

The new hall measures 170 m x 40 m and stands 16 m high, with 14,000 m² of usable space on two levels. The structural concept allows for a completely open upper level, free of load-bearing elements, with technical installations housed within 54 roof beams. This design ensures maximum flexibility and adheres to the overall program requirements.

Inngangshall med teaterestetikk

The entrance hall, gilded like a theater foyer, stands as the project's most representative element, while staircases featuring bold red tones serve as navigational landmarks for visitors. The Beaulieu South Wing modernization project, designed by Pont 12 Architectes SA and completed between June 2010 and June 2011, reflects a blend of functionality, aesthetic unity, and operational efficiency.
