FUSION CONSTRUCTION](https://www.linkedin.com/company/fusion-construction/) ) : Company specializing in metal structures and locksmithing.
The Carapace project is being carried out at Château Prieuré Marquet, a 15th-century Carthusian monastery north of Bordeaux, not far from Saint Emilion. The project involves insulating the cellars from the outside, while adding an artistic touch to the Château, whose owner is a fervent art lover.
A "shell" composed of three distinct structures
A first steel frame building frames the existing winery, and has two functions: to insulate and seal the winery, and to support the entire framework forming the shell.
A second structure made up of gantries and beams provides support for the superstructure and gives a glimpse of the shell.
A tubular superstructure will give the final shape to the multiple facets, which will be clad with iridescent sandwich panels.
