About Symphony Orchestra Music Hall
Symphony is a concert hall interior designed for symphony orchestra performances. The project is the reconstruction of an existing space of 1000 square meters with a complex geometric shape, located in Vilnius, Lithuania. A modular approach was used, based on standard elements such as rhombuses, triangles and smooth and ribbed planes. These components were assembled and adjusted to combine acoustic quality with visual appeal. The walls are made of plasterboard covered with oak veneer, with light strips in between. The wall patterns recall ancient Lithuanian motifs.

- Unique Properties
- Main objective was to achieve an entirely new acoustic standard, tailored specifically for symphony orchestra performances. We adopted a "lego constructor" philosophy, we meticulously devised several standard elements such as rhombuses, triangles, and both smooth and ribbed planes. Subsequently, we methodically assembled the interior using these components, adjusting their placement—adding or subtracting as necessary—to achieve a harmonious blend of acoustical excellence and aesthetic appeal.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- This is not a new hall. It is a reconstructed 1000m2 space with a complex geometric shape.

- For the wall decor, we used plasterboards covered with oak veneer, with LED strips in between. Oak parquet flooring. Ceilings painted plasterboard.
- Design Challenge
- We adopted a "lego constructor" philosophy, wherein, in collaboration with acousticians (the acoustic aspect of the project overseen by the "Akustika plus" team), we meticulously devised several standard elements such as rhombuses, triangles, and both smooth and ribbed planes. Subsequently, we methodically assembled the interior using these components, adjusting their placement—adding or subtracting as necessary—to achieve a harmonious blend of acoustical excellence and aesthetic appeal.
- Inspiration
- We were inspired by ancient Lithuanian ethnic motifs and the old runic alphabet. We decided to integrate ethnic elements into the modern new concert hall to make the space more mystical. You can find these motifs on the decorated walls.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2019.
Reconstruction completion March 2023.
The renovated building is located in Vilnius, Lithuania. - Operation Flow
- The primary focus of the symphony orchestra hall is the listener. Our main objective was to achieve an entirely new acoustic standard (the object is reconstruction), tailored specifically for symphony orchestra performances of the highest caliber.
