THÉÂTRE DE MENNECY
Mennecy (91)
Rehabilitation and extension of a multi-purpose performance hall.
The Mennecy theatre is part of a group of buildings located within the Parc de Villeroy. This particular location, together with the desire to integrate the project with the neighbouring buildings, guided us in choosing a redesign of the spaces driven by a strong concern for environmental management.
The works included the following:
- Complete refurbishment of the auditorium, increasing capacity from 385 to 665 seats, with modularity of both the auditorium and the pit.
- Extension of the stage volume, including full stage equipment with the installation of 13 motorized battens.
- Extension of the areas dedicated to artists and construction of underground spaces for artists.
- Creation of a foyer to welcome the public, also designed to function as a temporary exhibition space.
The renovation project was carried out using timber-frame walls with wood-fibre insulation. The façades are clad in slate. All interior spaces were refurbished.
