Guardian Glass Project: La Seine Musicale

La Seine Musicale is designed by Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines Architects, the building is the latest feature in the site’s Island Master Plan.

The lower part of the music hall’s globed, shell-like, hexagonal structure is glazed with SunGuard® SNX 50/23 solar protective glass, which lets in plenty of natural daylight combined with excellent solar protection.
