Cultural Center designed by the recognized architect, Oscar Niemeyer, is located in Avilés, Asturias. The main bulk of the operations carried out in the building were performed in ceilings, where Rigitone was chosen as an innovative solution to provide the correct acoustic comfort and reduce the reverberation of this multifunctional space. Its neutral aesthetic combined with the indoor air quality thanks to the Activ’Air Technology applied in this plasterboard, fulfill the expectations and necessities of this project.
One of the challenges was to create the perfect ceiling finishing through a correct jointing process. Another challenge for the installer relied on the curves created along the perimeter, fixing the boards to a high-level curved structure, using a special plasterboard system.
