Symphony
Orchestra Music Hall for MAMA Architects
The main objective was to achieve an entirely new acoustic standard, tailored specifically for symphony orchestra performances of the highest caliber. The designer adopted a Lego constructor philosophy, wherein, in collaboration with acousticians , he meticulously devised several standard elements such as rhombuses, triangles, and both smooth and ribbed planes. Subsequently, he 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.

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.
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.
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.
