Comédie Française – Dôme Refurbishment

Comédie Française - Dôme Refurbishment

The project concerns the refurbishment of the Dôme (steel structure dating from 1900) above the main auditorium of the Comédie-Française. The intervention focuses on reducing areas dedicated to technical equipment in order to restore usable volumes and improve the spatial quality of the venue.
The works include compliance upgrades to current standards, including accessibility for persons with reduced mobility (PMR) and fire safety regulations.
Due to the complexity of the site, located on Place Colette, the construction phase was carefully phased to ensure that the Comédie-Française could maintain its full activity throughout the duration of the works.
