Hässleholm
Culture Centre (Hässleholms Kulturhus), Sweden The Culture Centre was opened on 28 December 2000 by Culture Minister Marita Ulfskog. The building contains a 400-seat theatre, an experimental theatre with flexible seating, an art gallery, a municipal library, cinema halls, rehearsal rooms for a music school, a meeting room, and offices. The theatre hall has been optimised for speaking, but is equipped with an electroacoustical reverberation system (LARES), which can be used for concerts ranging from solo performances to symphony orchestras. For concerts, the stage is complemented with a mobile stage shell to provide the artists with good feedback and feeling for the space. The hall was warmly praised by the visiting Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra at the inauguration concert on 8 January 2001. Akustikon AB planned the acoustics, reverberation system and all AV functions in the building. |

Louis de Geer Complete acoustical planning, including sound systems. The house contains a concert hall (de Geer Hall) with 1,250 seats with variable reverberation (1.7 - 2.2 seconds), by means of textiles in centre of hall and along upper part of walls. The hall, home of the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra (Norrköpings Symfoniorkester), largely resembles the Gothenburg Opera, with three tiers of balconies (the same architect). It has a flexible stage ceiling and orchestra pit, for multi-purpose use. Additionally, the house has a small auditorium (the Hemeryck Room) with 200 seats, ensemble rooms and practise rooms, designed with the help of a test room. Read more about the concert hall and the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra. |

Antroposofins
Hus, Ytterjärna Culture House (Kulturhuset i Ytterjärna), Sweden The main building contains the Christina Nilsson Hall, a concert and congress hall with 800 seats, technical areas, a foyer, a conference room and boxes. The auditorium has side balconies (single level) and cat walks along the upper sides, an orchestra pit for 45 musicians and variable acoustics. The ceiling is flexible with diffusing reflectors. The new main building was joined to a nearby former swimming pool, where a smaller hall (the Karl Birger Blomdahl Hall) and other conference rooms were built. Akustikon was in charge of the acoustical and electroacoustical planning. We used ray calculation and thorough follow-up testing. |

The
Community Cultural centre "Dunkers Kulturhus" in Helsingborg The Danish architect Kim Utzon designed this building and it has attracted much attention for its architecture as well as for its capacities. It includes facilities for a large city music school with practice rooms, small rehearsal rooms and a recording studio. Besides, there are large exhibition halls, a flexible theatre with 120 seats and much more. The picture shows the concert hall, a chamber music hall with 330 seats, which is very much appreciated for its good acoustical qualities and for its flexibility. The reverberation time can be varied between 1,2 and 1,7 seconds using acoustic curtains. The planning is quite special with the audience placed on three sides of the stage. The picture shows the chamber music orchestra "Huaröds kammarorkester" on the stage. From the windows by the stage there is a fine prospect towards Öresund. |
