Located in Limoges, the Beaublanc Honor Stadium, designed by Atelier Ferret Architecture, is distinguished by a curved, sculptural architecture, with a roof forming a mineral shell of complex geometries. The envelope, both fluid and faceted, gives the building a strong and distinctive identity.

The project is based on a three-dimensional tubular structure supporting a skin of over 4,000 triangular panels, each unique. This controlled fragmentation creates a continuous curved surface, capable of following geometric variations while maintaining a uniform visual perception of the whole.

Within this context, Rebeton designed and manufactured ACRYTHERM® D mineral panels, entirely made-to-measure. Each panel, approximately 2 x 2 meters, incorporates custom inserts for precise fixing onto metal frames tailored to the project’s geometry.

The lack of repetition among panels, combined with millimetric tolerances, required an exceptionally demanding design and manufacturing process. The connection systems were developed to accommodate thermal expansion while ensuring the stability of the envelope, even under high wind load conditions.

The material’s bespoke formulation gives the panels a luminous appearance and a unique surface quality, reflecting Limoges’ porcelain-making tradition. Together, they form a mineral shell that is precise, fluid, and expressive.

The ACRYTHERM® D system used in this project underwent an Experimental Technical Assessment (ATEx), validating its mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and system safety.

Here, geometric complexity is not endured—it is built, panel by panel.

This iconic project demonstrates Rebeton’s ability to contribute to extraordinary projects, developing made-to-measure solutions where curve mastery, execution precision, and technical performance are inseparable.
