The New Conservatory in Rennes

In the French city of Rennes, the construction of a conservatory under the Tetrarc Architectes project has been completed.

The architects of the Tetrarc Architectes bureau developed and showed the conservatory project back in 2016. Finally, after five years, music will sound there. In addition to the main hall with 300 seats, the building houses three dance studios, a theater, rehearsal halls, studios for percussion and jazz, as well as a music training center.

From some angles, the four-storey building seems square and angular, but at close range its other sides open up with curved volumes and waves that make the conservatory more elegant.

The building is divided into two parts: the first two levels are completely transparent and create an open and welcoming atmosphere. A cloud “floats” along this glass facade, which casts a beautiful shadow on the square. And the upper two floors, on the contrary, are more closed and facing inward, but passers-by can guess by the sounds what is going on there.

Next to the conservatory, the architects laid out a garden surrounded by large public spaces. “They are of such dimensions that there is more to it than just a walk,” the authors of the project say.
