Architecture

The building is designed for rather small audiences, but in many different spaces.
The concert hall seats 830, and a smaller theater is designed for 420 people. There is also a multistage and a café stage.
All stages are on the same level, providing maximal accessibility for wheelchairs as well as transportations backstage.
The characters vary from a deep green serenity of the largest saloon that resembles the mystical forests of local painter John Bauer (1882-1918), to the acoustical flexible structure of the multistage.

The building shares the ambition of bringing the visitor in the mood with most theaters.
It is tall, expressive and controls the surroundings by the shore of Lake Munksjön.
The communicative approach is enhanced by the semitransparent facade, on which current programs can be displayed.
The bright and curved walls give the building an ephemeral character that relates to the arts that are being performed inside.
