Griegkvartalet Music Theatre

Thornström Brookfield Architects were selected to join Henning Larson's multidisciplinary team in the international competition for extending the Grieghallen Concert Hall and incorporating a new music theater in Bergen. The competition entry sought to contextualize the new music theater with the existing concert hall and public square, creating a unifying and forward-looking architecture for the new Grieg Hall and the music theater. A new comprehensive approach to the square, with the integration of new functions, will unlock significant cultural potential in the city.
