Together with two friends, I came up with a competition proposal for the new Symphony Orchestra Hall to house the Sinfonia Varsovia in Warsaw.  The new Concert Hall had to fit into a historic building site that used to be a veterinary school.  By submerging the Concert hall one level, the entire supporting program not used by the public is put underground.  This frees up the ground level to be almost devoid of other program than the main concert hall and a smaller auditorium.  These two performance spaces are now freestanding objects like the existing buildings and become united as a building through a single roof and glass facade to provide enclosure while retaining the sense of openness.  The roof extends out over the park to let the public walk under the roof before going inside to further blur the line of inside and outside.  I helped lead the team in the design process and was responsible for the 3D work, axonometric diagrams, hall interior, and final renderings.
