The Design

About Symphony Interieur van orkestconcertzaal

Symphony is een concertzaalinterieur ontworpen voor symfonieorkestuitvoeringen. Het project betreft de reconstructie van een bestaande ruimte van 1000 vierkante meter met een complexe geometrische vorm, gelegen in Vilnius, Litouwen. Er is gekozen voor een modulaire aanpak, gebaseerd op standaardelementen zoals ruiten, driehoeken en gladde en geribbelde vlakken. Deze componenten werden samengesteld en aangepast om akoestische kwaliteit te combineren met visuele aantrekkingskracht. De wanden zijn gemaakt van gipsplaat bekleed met eikenfineer, met lichtstroken ertussen. De wandpatronen doen denken aan oude Litouwse motieven.

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.

Production Technology
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.
