Case study: Séquoia Wellness Centre
Right on the banks of the river Ter, just a few minutes from the centre of Lorient and the coast at Larmor-Plage (France), the Séquoia Wellness Centre offers a complete wellness experience in an oasis of nature and serenity.
To clad the building, the owners and the architects chose zinc, specifically elZinc Graphite®, a pre-patinated zinc with an almost black finish,together with a golden shade from the elZinc Rainbow® range. “The aim is to take into account the environment, both practically and aesthetically,” underlines Philippe Orst, the centre’s director. The striking yet soothing combination of the various materials selected (glass, zinc) and the tones used (gold and black) evoke sophistication, serenity and a graceful ensemble with the natural surroundings of the Séquoia Centre’s privileged setting
