    The new Auditorium de la Maison de la Radio in Paris, France was constructed as part of the refurbishment of Radio France's headquarters. With a capacity of 1461 seats, the auditorium was designed by AS.Architecture-Studio to serve as the home for Radio France's four musical ensembles, including two full orchestras. Through computer simulations and a 1:10 scale physical model, an intimate concert hall space was developed with the stage surrounded by audience on all sides, including two balcony levels, to create close proximity between audiences and musicians.

    Auditorium de la Maison de la Radio is an entirely new concert hall dedicated to the performance of classical music,
    built as part of the overall refurbishement of the Paris-headquarter of French national radio broadcasting organization
    Radio France, opened in 1963. It was designed to serve as the residence of the 4 musical ensembles of the organization,
    including the two full-sized orchestras Orchestre National de France and Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.

    A competition held in 2005 awarded the design of the refurbishment and new Auditorium to Paris-based firm
    AS.Architecture-Studio. Within the constraints of a tight site in the middle of an existing building, the room shape of the
    Auditorium developed based on a central stage surrounded by audience on all sides and with 2 levels of balconies, thus
    creating an exceptional proximity between the audience and the musicians, and a deep sense of intimacy.
    In addition to computer simulation studies conducted during design phases to develop the room shape in details, a 1:10
    physical scale model was built for acoustical studies.
