Details

With the "Kalkhof-Rose-Saal," Germany's first chamber music hall, built using timber construction, was realized. The project was executed while the academy remained fully operational. Specially designed acoustic panels ensure a unique sound experience. Never before has a chamber music hall been constructed as a timber structure in Germany—let alone as an extension of an existing ensemble. This required a fundamental rethinking of the principles of concert hall architecture.
