Project summary

The Queen Elisabeth Hall in Antwerp is a 1960s concert hall which is home to the Royal Flemish Philharmonic orchestra.

The project involves the retention and restoration of existing heritage buildings which surround the existing concert hall. The project aims to insert a new 2,100-seat concert hall with excellent acoustics capable of hosting both symphonic and modern popular music. With no compromise to the rooms acoustic, the stage is highly flexible and can be adapted for larger capacity conference events and reconfigured for theatrical staging.

As well as assisting the architects on the design of the principal room, Charcoalblue are advising on the general planning of the building and designing the theatrical technical systems - stagelighting, audiovisual and stage engineering.
