At the north side, opposite of the auditorium along the grand hall, the contrast between edges and lines are highlighted.

At night, the illuminated foyer opens up to enter into a dialogue with the space below the suspended tiers of Rainer’s structure. During the day, its southern façade is reflected in the glass wall of the new building. Amidst such conflicting tendencies, a rather well-calculated approach to volume and respectful distance achieves optimal results.

The concert, show, and convention venue sits 2,000 visitors. The interior is clearly structured by short pathways and direct access routes. Two wide staircases on both sides of the entrance hall lead to the interval foyers, whose ascending floors follow the auditoriums seat rows and hence avoiding additional stairs. The spectators are not divided by levels; only a wide catwalk separates the seat rows, forming an extension of the stage. The VIP area is located in the rear end of the building, where short stairways lead to lounges in the back of the grand hall.

The different levels of the backstage area are ideally structured and provide quick access for deliveries. The rear sections of the building are outfitted with rehearsal and banquet halls, such as used for conventions. They are directly accessible from the foyers. The level above provide office space for administration and production.

The hall, wedge-shaped in longitudinal section, is entirely red. In contrast the entire stage equipment and lighting system appear as metal surfaces and noncolors.

The strong, atmospheric red also dominates in the foyers. Lacquered acacia wood adorns the ceiling and the floor, creating an elegant ambience, which becomes a striking signal to the outside.
