Studio Seilern Architects has converted a half-built conference centre in Andermatt, Switzerland, into a concert hall by lifting up its roof to double the building’s size.
Named Andermatt Concert Hall, the 650-seat venue is the “first major purpose-built concert hall in any Alpine ski village”.
Studio Seilern Architects designed the building as part of a hotel and apartment development, which is being built on a former military base in Andermatt, with the aim of turning the Swiss village into a cultural destination.
Studio Seilern Architects已將位於瑞士安德馬特的半建會議中心改建成音樂廳，舉起屋頂，使建築物的大小翻倍。
這座擁有650個座位的場地被命名為安德馬特音樂廳，是“任何阿爾卑斯山滑雪村的第一個專門建造的音樂廳”。
Studio Seilern Architects將該建築物設計為酒店和公寓開發項目的一部分，該開發項目建在Andermatt的前軍事基地，旨在將瑞士村莊變成文化目的地。
The concert hall was built within the structure of an underground conference centre, which was under construction as part of the adjacent Radisson Blu Hotel.
“I call it a whirlwind project, because it was already under construction when we came on board,” explained Christina Seilern, principal of Studio Seilern Architects.
“They were essentially building this hotel and they had a room that had been built for conferences, and we were asked to turn it into a concert venue.”
音樂廳建在一個地下會議中心的結構內，該中心正在建設中，作為相鄰的Radisson Blu Hotel酒店的一部分。
Studio Seilern Architects負責人Christina Seilern解釋說：“我把它稱為旋風項目，因為當我們加入時它已經在建設中。”
“他們基本上是在建造這家酒店，他們有一個專為會議而建的房間，我們被要求把它變成一個音樂會場地。”
To turn the concrete shell of the underground space into an auditorium that was appropriate for large performances Studio Seilern Architects removed the roof and extended upwards.
“We had to convince the client that the size of the room was okay for smaller chamber orchestra music, but really the issue of the volume of the room – particularly the ceiling height was problematic for a proper concert hall.”
為了將地下空間的混凝土外殼變成適合大型演出的禮堂，Studio Seilern Architects拆除了屋頂並向上延伸。
“我們不得不說服客戶說房間大小適合小型室內樂團的音樂，但真正的房間音量問題 – 特別是天花板高度對於一個合適的音樂廳來說是個問題。”
Raising the roof height from seven metres to 13 metres doubled the space’s volume and gave it an above-ground presence. The underground concert hall appears above the ground as a small glass-fronted pavilion topped by an over hanging canopy.
“It is essentially a sculptural element within the village” said Seilern. “The setting we inherited, it is in between two hotels, and it’s tucked away – it is what it is. So let’s make this a joyful, practically unexpected structure that is deceptively small from street level.”
將屋頂高度從7米增加到13米，使空間體積增加了一倍，並使其具有地上空間。 地下音樂廳出現在地面上，是一個小型的玻璃幕牆，頂部是一個懸掛的頂篷。
“它本質上是村里的一個雕塑元素”塞勒恩說。 “我們繼承的環境，它位於兩家酒店之間，它隱藏起來 – 它就是它。所以讓我們把它變成一個快樂的，幾乎意想不到的結構，從街道層面看起來很小。”
This glass front allows passersby at street level to look down into the subterranean auditorium, while spectators within the venue can see out to view the sky and surrounding mountains.
這個玻璃前面允許街道上的路人俯視地下禮堂，而場地內的觀眾可以看到天空和周圍的山脈。
“The idea really was that if you are in a small hall, which this is, and you have a client who has a mission of having big music – big orchestras – for me the importance was that you had to make the space feel bigger,” said Seilern.
“We did that by adding a window. We allowed the view of the light, the view of the mountains to come into the space and essentially have a light-filled space, where music and the environment work together.”
“這個想法真的是，如果你在一個小廳裡，而且你有一個擁有大音樂使命的客戶 – 大型交響樂團 – 對我來說重要的是你必須讓空間感覺更大， “塞勒恩說。
“我們通過添加一個窗口來實現這一目標。我們允許光線的視野，山脈的視野進入空間，並且基本上有一個光線充足的空間，音樂和環境在一起工作。”
Along with extending upward, Studio Seilern Architects also extended the building backward to expand the seating capacity. To avoid having to create additional foundations this upper balcony is “hung like a backpack” from the building.
“Two things were important to change the building from a conference centre to a concert hall – pushing the roof up, of course, and pushing the upper balcony back,” added Seilern.
隨著向上延伸，Studio Seilern Architects也向後擴建了建築，以擴大座位容量。 為了避免產生額外的基礎，這個上層陽台從建築物“像一個背包一樣懸掛”。
“將建築物從會議中心改為音樂廳有兩件事是很重要的 – 當然，將屋頂向上推，然後將上部陽台推回去，”塞勒恩補充道。
The auditorium is designed so that it can host a 75-piece orchestra, but also to be used for smaller performances, along with conferences, catered events and exhibitions.
On the lower level the layers of stepped seating can be retracted to allow for a larger performance area, or fully retracted to create an open space.
禮堂的設計使其可以容納75件樂團，也可以用於較小的演出，以及會議，宴會和展覽。
在較低的樓層，階梯式座椅層可以縮回以允許更大的性能區域，或者完全縮回以形成開放空間。
Working with Kahle Acoustics, Studio Seilern Architects designed the interior geometry of the auditorium to reflect sound from the stage evenly to every member of the audience.
Along with the natural acoustics, including plexiglass clouds that hang from the ceiling and are designed to appear like a piece of public art from street level, a digital acoustic system has also been installed to slightly slow down the speed of sound when large orchestras are playing.
Alongside the auditorium is a double-height foyer, which is entered from a pavilion that is directly connected to the Radisson Blu Hotel and also has its own dedicated entrance.
Studio Seilern Architects與Kahle Acoustics合作，設計了禮堂的內部幾何形狀，將舞台上的聲音均勻地反映給每個觀眾。
除了自然聲學，包括懸掛在天花板上的有機玻璃雲，其設計看起來就像街道上的公共藝術品一樣，還安裝了一個數字聲學系統，當大型管弦樂隊正在播放時，它會略微減慢聲音的速度。。
禮堂旁邊是一個雙層門廳，從一個直接連接到Radisson Blu Hotel酒店的展館進入，並有自己的專用入口。
In total the development at Andermatt will include six 4- or 5-star hotels, 42 apartment blocks with around 500 apartments, 28 chalets, a public indoor pool and an 18-hole golf course.
The Andermatt Swiss Alps company is also making improvements to the ski area, including building a restaurant, also designed by Studio Seilern Architects.
Studio Seilern Architects was established by Seilern, who was the founding director and design director of Rafael Viñoly Architects’ London office, in 2006. The studio has recently completed a performing arts centre at Wellington College in Berkshire, England.
總的來說，安德馬特的發展將包括六家四星級或五星級酒店，42套公寓樓，約500套公寓，28間小木屋，一個公共室內游泳池和一個18洞高爾夫球場。
Andermatt瑞士阿爾卑斯公司也在改善滑雪場，包括建造一間由Studio Seilern Architects設計的餐廳。
Studio Seilern Architects由Seilern於2006年成立，他是RafaelViñolyArchitects倫敦辦事處的創始董事兼設計總監。該工作室最近在英格蘭伯克郡的惠靈頓學院完成了表演藝術中心。
