Collaboration is the instrument. Architecture as ensemble.
Key Features
- Vineyard seating geometry for immersive sound.
- Double-curved metal surfaces controlling reflections.
- Lobby as urban threshold—a civic living room.

- Early reflections balanced for clarity across seating zones.
- Back-of-house flows integrated to support performance logistics.
How to Experience
