    SKYFOLD RETRACTABLE AUTOMATIC WALLS

The new funeral home building contains all the uses inherent to the activity, with the basements being reserved for private spaces, the ground floor for management and spaces where people can say their final farewells, organised into 1 chapel holding 150 people, and 2 more holding 250 people each. These can be connected to offer a single funeral space for over 500 people.

This multi-purpose space has 6 SKYFOLD automatic partition walls between columns so that all 6 can be lowered at once from the ceiling to create the 2 spaces suitable for 250 people, with the acoustic privacy required, or they can be retracted into the ceiling to create a single space for over 500 people.
