Lighting and wood slat cladding: the case of ISCG Business School

By Architecture, Arquitectura, Decoración, Decoration, Proyectos en Madera Spigogroup, Spigogroup wood projects

Lighting and wood slat cladding are two key elements in the design of new workspaces and educational spaces. This is the case of the project we bring to our blog today. Wood slat cladding, such as that manufactured by Spigoline, not only adds warmth and sophistication, but also transforms the way in which light, both natural and artificial, interacts with the environment. In a classroom, the strategic placement of wood slats tiles on the ceilings allows natural light to be controlled, softening its entry and distributing it evenly to avoid glare or uncomfortable shadows. When there is a lack of natural light, cladding facilitates the integration of artificial lighting through the incorporation of LED lights or recessed lighting systems. This was the case at the new ISCG Paris Business School. The Institut Supérieur de Commerce et de Gestion (ISCG), commissioned Deskeo Space Management SAS the design, renovation and equipping of the new centre, located in a 400-m² dark building in the heart of the 4th arrondissement of the French capital. The challenge was to achieve a bright and welcoming space, perfectly adapted to the pedagogical needs of the school, in a space that lacked windows and natural light. To achieve this, they opted for the installation of approximately 200 m² of Spigoline Grid 3-30-70-90 wood slat cladding on the ceilings, in 3-strip lengths. 000×360 cm, finished in PSM R12354 stain (similar to oak) and autoclave treated. To compensate for the absence of natural light, subtle, wrap-around lighting was designed with LED strips and carefully integrated ceiling lights. The result was, quite simply, spectacular.       . .

By Acoustics, Architecture, Arquitectura, Construction, Decoración, Decoration, Proyectos en Madera Spigogroup, Spigogroup wood projects

We manufacture technical doors, custom-made doors and acoustic doors for health centres, offices, shops, hotels and business premises. But we go much further. Spigogroup is a technical carpentry company with more than 40 years’ experience in comprehensive wood decoration projects. Being manufacturers means we are able to carry out any custom-made wood project; this recent one being a good example. This is the technical carpentry work and acoustic doors for the new Villanueva health centre, built by Aransa in Logroño. We manufactured more than one hundred 38 db flush soundproof doors with 6 mm exterior panelling in Formica F1043 compact with a painted ayous wood edge, stainless steel fittings and lift-off hinges, distributed throughout the different rooms. We also manufactured hinged and sliding doors for interiors with the same finish, chrome handle and fittings; and others for exteriors with finishes in Formica F1040 white and Formica F1549 wood. The technical carpentry work was very extensive and included spectacular circular skylight structures in flexible plywood ready for painting on site, as well as panelling for the auditorium, lift entrance areas and the walls on floor 2 of the building, with fireproof finishes in 6 mm Formica white, and others with 6 mm Formica F1549 maple finishes. We also manufactured SJ model cubicles and lockers in compact Polyrey B015 and cabinets in Formica veneer flush with panelling. We used Urban Deck Duo technological decking for benches, and we also manufactured white melamine boxes, Polutrey compact white worktops, approximately 780 linear metres of F1040 compact skirting board, a flexible plywood handrail and ayous wood handrails for stairs.           If you liked this post about acoustic doors for health centres, you may also be interested in: . – Solid wood slat ceilings for the Finanzauto offices in Chiva – Wood lath and slat cladding in new coworking spaces: the case of Coworking Hiptown in Paris – Interior wood cladding at the new Práxedes Mateo Sagasta Secondary School in Logroño – Technical doors for schools – Instituto Práxedes Mateo Sagasta in Logroño

Slats and decorative wood slats cladding at the Cachan university restaurant

By Architecture, Decoration, Proyectos en Madera Spigogroup, Spigogroup wood projects

The use of slats and decorative wood slats cladding for university restaurants is the logical consequence of the formidable spread of this type of wood cladding across all types of premises. The reason for its success is clear: slats and decorative wood slats cladding is ideal for its warm, welcoming look, creating comfortable settings for students and teachers. In addition, wood adds a natural touch that helps to reduce stress and enhance the experience of patrons enjoying their meals, usually at a time of relaxation. It is also a durable and versatile material, which can be combined with different decorative styles. One only has to look at the pictures of this project to understand this. This is the decorative wood slats and slat cladding installed in the dining room of the new Cachan university restaurant, located two kilometres outside Paris. The solution chosen for this project was Spigoline Grid model 4-30-70-55 wood slats cladding made of PSM R12354 stained solid ayous wood, consisting of panels assembled with four 30×70 mm section slats, spaced 55 mm apart. The project was developed by Crous de Créteil, a French public entity that provides services for students, including scholarships, housing, catering, social assistance, campus life, student employment, etc. The architecture was carried out by the architecture and urban planning studio Agence Engasser & Associés. The works were carried out by Bouygues Bâtiment and the acoustics were handled by Altia Acoustique.   . .

El revestimiento de madera y la percepción de lujo dest

Wood panelling and the perception of luxury

By Decoración, Decoration, Inspiración, Inspiration, Spigogroup wood projects

Wood panelling and the perception of luxury are closely linked. Wood has always been a symbol of elegance and sophistication in interior decoration. Its use transcends cultures and trends, providing warmth and a touch of discreet luxury. This is partly because wood, with its unique texture and natural patterns, connects spaces with nature, providing a welcoming and refined atmosphere that rarely goes out of style. Incorporating wood into the decoration of a room, whether in furniture, wall coverings or decorative wood panels, increases the perception of quality and exclusivity. Traditional noble woods such as walnut, oak or ebony are often associated with luxury due to their unrivalled durability, strength and beauty. Others, such as maple, pear, beech, cherry or ayous, have also gained great popularity in recent years and are increasingly used due to their regenerative capacity and lightness.     If we talk about decorative wood slats or solid wood slats, the feeling of elegance and exclusivity that they convey is even clearer. Sergio Oliván, general manager of Spigo believes that “their presence on walls or ceilings transforms spaces, adding texture and depth while transmitting warmth and naturalness. Being made of solid wood, they offer a robust and high-quality appearance, generating an exclusive and refined environment that captivates and lasts.”       For wood cladding with panels, solid wood is ideal, but there is the option, more economical and with a very similar aesthetic result, of using panels made up of bases of cheaper materials, such as MDF, to which a melamine or varnished natural wood finish is added.
