Testing spaces

Experience spaces with all of your senses – before they are created.

In the testing spaces, interiors are faithfully replicated using materials, colours and furnishings true to the original. Realistic light and acoustic conditions make it possible to fully experience planned spaces.

Building owners, architects and users join the SCDH’s experts to test and validate materials, furnishings, design, processes as well as the technologies and products used – right in the settings they are intended for.
