The Concert Hall is situated in Montaigu. The building is located in a residential part of the city North. The site does not share a direct relationship with the surrounding public space. The construction site is caracterized by the lack of relation with the surrounding buildings. The complex is a single elyptic building, imposing a certain formal autonomy in its affective relationship with the environment. Howewer, the bulding create a strong relation with the public space by opening itself on the ground floor and by reflecting the building around. The slope of the terrain is structured by a single platforms. It is a present and legible architecture, displaying a simple unity. Facing material consists of glass, aluminium, and concrete.
