To rehabilitate the auditorium of the Regional Conservatorium of Music
of Versailles, which has become dilapidated and restore it to the prestige
it deserves, the project consisted in adding new spaces to the existing
volume and giving the feeling that they are larger than they do not appear
there.
UP THE ROOM FLOOR
The major operation of the project was to raise the floor of the room by
70cm so that it was accessible without steps. This makes the basement
fully usable in order to install additional rehearsal studios. The clear height
also makes it possible to achieve a very effective acoustic insulation
between levels. The room has about 243 seats distributed between the
floor and the balcony. The conservatory now includes 7 rehearsal studios,
a room for an orchestra and a room for choral singing.
ENLARGE SPACE
To work on the ambiance of the place, we used 4 simple, long-lasting and
inexpensive materials: light, wood and color. First, the ceilings are painted
white and backlit to create a feeling of height. Then, the floor is dressed in
a dark and polished terrazzo to accentuate its depth. Then, the functional
facilities such as the elevators or the sanitary facilities are set back by
a black paint. Finally the auditorium room is enhanced by a blond wood
covering. This natural material brings sensuality and gives the room the
best acoustic qualities. It recalls the material of musical instruments. The
ceiling of the room is white and lit to stretch the interior volume.
ACOUSTICS AND SCENOGRAPHY
The work on the invisible material that is sound has received much
attention. First of all, the insulation between premises has been reinforced
and all the studios are separated from the structure by interior boxes
mounted on resilient materials. Then the convivial spaces are treated with
high-performance absorbent materials such as the acoustic coating that
covers the ceilings of the hall and the foyer. Finally, the auditorium has
been modeled to optimize the precision of its acoustics both in terms of
diffusion and reverberation time thanks to the domed wooden coverings.
NEW EQUIPMENT: MORE ACCESSIBLE AND CONTEMPORARY
The architecture of the new auditorium was designed using the markers
of the original building, the cylinder of the room, the domed acoustic
reliefs, the mineral floor. Today, it updates this equipment to make
it more accessible, safer and above all more efficient. The interior
staging between wood, white, black and light inscribes the room in a
contemporary architectural writing to make it an instrument at the service
of music and excellence for decades and generations of musicians.
