So Acoustic takes up the environmental challenge in Nanterre

Located in Nanterre, Origine is a mixed-use tertiary project with innovative architecture, a connected and eco-responsible building inspired by nature and its benefits. The task to design this urban block, which covers almost 70,000 m2, was won by the architectural agencies Maud Caubet Architectes and Quadri Flore Architecture.

8,000 m2 of acoustic performance

The result is 8,000 m2 of acoustic performance combined with large-format prints and multiple technical integrations. Ecophon Clipso™ also designed the swirls of the central staircase, a wink to the Guggenheim Museum in New York. 

The acoustic solution was installed in the reception area, rest areas and company restaurants, as well as in certain traffic areas. Combined with fleece of different thicknesses, Clipso’s So Accoustic solution made it possible to achieve an NRC of up to 1.

To create a warm and friendly atmosphere, especially in the meeting and rest areas, large-scale visuals were printed on the wall coverings. In giant format, the plant patterns on a coloured background echo the environmental concerns of its designers. For the ceilings, the So Accoustic stretched fabrics made it possible to carefully integrate all the technical components such as the air conditioning and sprinklers, as well as various types of lighting fixtures, suspended lights, strip lights, spotlights, etc.
