Numerous large-scale and elegant buildings serve as references for Topakustik, the most recent of which is the school in the Swiss town of Salvan.

The picturesque village lies at an altitude of 912 meters near the French border of Switzerland. This year, the local school, built in the 1970s, was rebuilt. The renowned Bonnard & Woeffray architectural firm, commissioned with the task, decided to renovate the building in Alpine style using pine wood.

The school consists of 14 classrooms, a library, and a large multipurpose hall that can be used as a sports hall but is also suitable for hosting events. The architect chose TOPPERFO® Clou panels for the classrooms and sports hall. The great advantage of these products is that their 2 mm fine perforation is barely visible to the naked eye, yet they have excellent absorption properties and a natural effect.
