Article source: Voltolini Architectures Sàrl The Espace St. Marc, a space for events and spectacles, is located in the winding site of Dranse. Held in between two concrete blocks, the lobby and main hall open up toward a perspective of the valley. From the interior, the windows frame, for our benefit, the contours of the landscape.

Different spaces annexed to this main hall (lobby, projection room, assembly hall, etc.) allow, through the different levels, a variety of multifunctional usages. The materiality of the interior is treated as light rather than color, with a combination of golden and warm tones that highlight the natural light of the whole.

The stainless steel coating, sometimes shiny and sometimes matte, creates a subtle game that interacts with the surrounding environment. The material erases itself to express and reflect the surrounding context while the folds of the roof create a playful dialogue with the distant landscape and the mountainous “skyline” characteristic of the valley.
