A freestanding building made almost entirely of wood above ground, the Hardelot Elizabethan Theatre is located in parkland in the grounds of a medieval castle near Boulogne-sur-Mer on the English Channel. It houses a 388-seat auditorium in a neo-Shakespearean format which can be transformed into a small opera house with orchestra pit. Minimal above-ground front of house spaces are completed with technical and backstage facilities in a concrete basement.
The building faces the challenge of integration into a remarkably beautiful setting and standing as an exemplary ecological structure, addressing the metaphor of Shakespeare's Globe. It seeks to meet these challenges through the use of natural materials expressed in a resolutely contemporary manner, including -another first in France- the extensive use of bamboo as a shimmering screen vibrating with the surroundings.
The building was described by trade bible Le Moniteur as 'an architectural masterpiece......in the manner of the Guggenheim Bilbao.'
