Funeral Hall

Czech RepublicCzech RepublicCompany Name: RIGIFORM s.r.o.

Project description

Wood was chosen as a bearing structure for the construction of the funeral hall in Břeclav, the interior is mostly dry construction. Gyptone® Big Curve and Glasroc® F Riflex materials by Rigips dominate the interior of the funeral hall which were used for the construction of panels and ceilings. These materials are interesting since they can be bent into small radii, creating design constructions. At the same time, Gyptone® Big Curve perforated boards have a fundamental influence on spatial acoustics. The new funeral hall currently has a capacity of 120 seats including covered outdoor areas.
