Mediatheque Chateaugiron

Revolutionary wall design with EGLA-TWIN 4253

Approximately 500 m² of W.S. Tyler architectural mesh was used to enhance the interior re-design of the media center in Chateaugiron, France.

Description

Wire mesh elements with a width of 1.25 m and heights from 2.0 m up to 10.0 m were used to form ceiling linings and decorative partitions.

The horizontal ceiling panels are mounted in such a way that they deflect light to the areas beneath the ceiling. The sail shapes of the elements make the ceiling appear delicate and lightweight. The vertical partitions are made from a version of W.S. Tyler Architectural Mesh EGLA-TWIN that has a special feature. EGLA-TWIN VARIO has varying aperture sizes which creates different levels of transparency throughout the large mesh elements.

In some areas, the wire mesh appears transparent and translucent. In other areas, the mesh appears opaque and more reflective. The changing transparency creates visual interest, unlocking new views.
