Tehran Chamber Music Hall
A 600-seat hall for Persian and chamber music, with natural acoustics and a skin of brick and timber.
Persian classical music relies on the delicacy of instruments such as the tar, setar and kamancheh, and large reverberant halls do not suit it. This hall was designed with acoustic consultants specifically for this repertoire.

The main auditorium is built as an independent structure on rubber bearings, isolating it from the vibration of city traffic. Inner walls are made of maple panels at varying angles that diffuse sound evenly.
The concrete frame and outer brick skin are complete, and interior works in the auditorium are under way. Opening is expected next year.
