Studio Jouan, with the support of the LAM team from the Institut d'Alembert, Sorbonne University/CNRS, provided a preliminary study for the Louvre Museum in Paris. The Pyramid, emblematic construction of the Louvre Museum, was designed by the Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei and inaugurated in 1989. The study focuses on the analysis of the acoustic conditions of the Hall Napoléon located under the Pyramid with a series of possible acoustic options for the hall.

This work consisted on a series of room acoustic testing, an acoustic model of the hall as well as an immersive demonstration at the CNRS consisting of an auralization in binaural 3D sound and visualization on Oculus headset with recreation of the acoustic conditions of the Napoleon hall for each option offered.

The Grand Egyptian Museum, designed by Sino Irish Architects Heneghan Peng and located by the Pyramids in Giza, Egypt, is probably the largest museum in the world.

With a soft opening of its central grand stair gallery and retail spaces, the complex is however still requiring design for some of its spaces such as the auditorium and the offices wing.

Working alongside with S/L Architects, Studio Jouan is providing acoustic design on the fit-out of the museum auditorium.

The New York Hall of Science is a museum located in the buildings of the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, New York City. It features exhibits in the fields of science and technology.

At its heart is a 300 seat auditorium currently used for 2D and 3D projection in need of an upgrade and architects/project managers We Designs has been appointed to lead a multidisciplinary team to design the renovation of these spaces.

Studio Jouan has been appointed to provide acoustic design related information for the production of a brief.

The Lyric Theatre is one of the most emblematic theatre of Broadway and was until recently home to the multi-award winning show, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Needing restoration to previous historical conditions, Studio Jouan has been appointed by New 42nd Street, who manages the theatre for New York City, to provide acoustic consultancy services on the room acoustic conditions of its historical auditorium.

Working alongside Production Management Specialist David M Jensen, Studio Jouan was appointed to provide acoustic consultancy services on options considered.

Located in Normandy, the Haras National du Pin is a group of 17th century buildings surrounded by a park of more than 1,400 hectares.

In the historic heart of the complex is the Manège d’Aure, an equestrian performance hall open all year round for shows as well as for visits. This auditorium, although grandiose, requires a renovation in order to have high quality show experience.

Studio Jouan, working alongside Architects Frédérique Petit and Novelty, provides the acoustic design.

The Al Dana Amphitheatre, located in Zalaq, Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, signifies a remarkable enhancement in the region's live entertainment landscape.

Positioned amidst the picturesque Sahkir desert, the venue thoughtfully integrates its remarkable natural environment with advanced acoustic technology.

Recently, Studio Jouan took on the task of providing the room acoustic design for converting Exhibition Hall 4 into a permanent 3500 seat auditorium that can accommodate amplified musical events.

Using the magnificent natural heights of Lake Geneva, Robert Heath was inspired to create a breathtaking setting for Opéra Pléïades, a new opera festival on the heights of Vevey in Switzerland.

Under the general direction of Alex Reedijk who introduce Sébastien Jouan to Robert Heath, Scottish Opera will be making the productions and be the main Festival Orchestra.

Studio Jouan is contributing to this great adventure by providing an acoustic consultancy and technical programming service.

Appointed by Universcience, Studio Jouan's acousticians are working with Casson Mann and Atelier Philéas for the renovation of the Palais de la Découverte, which will reopen in 2025.

Sulian Olivo, acoustician at Studio Jouan: “Mastering the sound comfort of the visitor experience will be particularly studied in this project, in order to bring together the different discoveries and activities of this museum of the future intended for all generations”

Located since 1937 in the Grand Palais (known to be hosting Paris Olympic Games fencing events recently), the Palais de la Découverte will regain, thanks to the ongoing restoration, its brilliance and its original architectural qualities.

The first artistic parcours dedicated to contemporary sculpture at Fontainebleau Palace, GRANDEUR NATURE was organized by the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, in close collaboration with the teams of Fontainebleau. At the heart of this vegetal decor, it is a question of fantastic and strange animals, installations that are as ephemeral as they are fanciful, all inspired by nature.

The project is focusing on the creation of a new 350 seat Chamber Opera House designed for small opera performances. Surrounded by a generous stock of trees, the building blends into the park as a free form, in which the edges of the building develop out of the empty space between the trees. Viewed from different sides, times of day and weather situations, the house always takes on a new shape and can thus always be rediscovered.

The opera hall functions as a resonating body like an instrument in a figurative, spatial and acoustic way. The feeling of sitting inside an instrument creates an intimate and concentrated atmosphere. Like the public foyer, the hall is also intended to bring visitors closer to the production. In this case, this is done spatially by merging the orchestra pit with the proscenium. If necessary, the closeness can be increased by moving the orchestra to line of sight or even by leveling the first rows of seats directly with the audience.
