The Design

About Symphony Interior de Sala de Concertos para Orquestra

Symphony é o interior de uma sala de concertos concebido para apresentações de orquestra sinfónica. O projeto consiste na reconstrução de um espaço existente de 1000 metros quadrados, com uma forma geométrica complexa, situado em Vilnius, na Lituânia. Foi adotada uma abordagem modular, baseada em elementos padronizados como losangos, triângulos e planos lisos e ranhurados. Estes componentes foram montados e ajustados de modo a conjugar qualidade acústica com apelo visual. As paredes são executadas em gesso cartonado revestido a folheado de carvalho, com faixas de luz intercaladas. Os padrões das paredes evocam antigos motivos lituanos.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
