On the Camino de Santiago, in the former chapel renovated into an immersive space by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, the sloped glass roof provides abundant natural light.
The goal here was to control this light by creating a dimmed environment at the start of the immersive experience offered by the Haute-Loire department, while respecting the technical and aesthetic constraints of the existing structure.
We installed Skylight blinds designed to be mounted on the slope, directly under the metallic framework of the glass roof, with the fabric unfolding in folds reminiscent of “Roman” blinds. When open, the fabric sits at the bottom and rises along the slope of the roof to close.
A set of black motorized rods fixed on the slope ensures a discreet alignment consistent with the space’s aesthetic. The fabric used is a black, flame-retardant M1 material, strongly reducing natural light and creating a softly lit atmosphere suitable for projections and immersive content.
At the start of activities, the blinds automatically rise, plunging the chapel into a controlled dimness, sufficient for visual experiences while preserving the architectural reading of the space.
