    The text discusses the refurbishment of the Radio House in Copenhagen into the Sonorous Museum, which includes four sound spaces designed for different instrumental groups.

    The museum is designed to showcase the National Music Museum and its collection, with a focus on four sound spaces that allow visitors to experience different instruments.

    The four sound spaces (strings, brass, percussion, mixed instruments) each have unique acoustics and pared-back aesthetics, with different wooden panelling, holes, or strips designed according to the optimal setting for each instrumental group.

    • Area: 3500 sqm
    • CREO ARKITEKTER A/S, ADEPT and
    NIRAS is behind concept and
    realization of the museum design
    that includes four delicately detailed
    sound spaces as part of the
    collection’s educational program.
    • The Radio House, including the
    National Music Museum and the four
    sound spaces ’The Sonorous
    Museum’, is refurbished in great
    respect of the original building,
    showing a classic approach that
    preserves the original design
    intentions, yet adding contemporary
    life and modernity to it.
    • The unique architecture of the Radio House, reflecting the spatial universe of Vilhelm Lauritzen, has been the main inspiration during the
    refurbishment process.
    • The four "interactive classrooms", where school groups can handle the instruments and test out their sound spectrum, are lined with different
    types of wooden panel.
    • The rooms – designed for STRINGS, BRASS, PERCUSSION and MIXED INSTRUMENTS – each have unique acoustics and pared-back aesthetics.
    • Each of the four spaces are clad in wood
    veneer, designed to meet and create the
    optimal acoustic setting for a specific
    instrumental group.
    • From the vertical lamellae of the percussion
    space, the seemingly vibrating cassettes for
    strings to the graphical clarity of the brass
    space, the four spaces stand out as both
    contemporary modern and yet very classic in
    their expression.
    • Window into each of the rooms allow visitors
    to watch and listen in on performances and
    workshops.
    • In the main exhibition area, small instruments
    are displayed in frameless glass vitrines,
    while large pieces including double basses and
    pianos are raised on shallow plinths.
    • The walls of the brass room are
    chequered with panels of smooth wood
    veneer and acoustic baffles, while rows
    of holes are drilled in the stepped walls
    of the strings room.
    • Slim strips of timber run from ceiling to
    floor in the percussion room and are
    arranged to give the space soft
    rounded edges.
    • Wooden blocks form a performance platform at the back of
    the orchestral space. They feature wooden panelling
    perforated in triangular patterns, and are also used as
    seating in a lecture room.
    • Elements of the architectural design was incorporated in
    the furniture, with the reception desk, bench seating and
    storage cupboards all displaying triangular perforations.
    • The exhibition design is build up around the guest’s physical
    movement through musical history - a movement
    communicated in a delicate balance between exhibited objects
    and instruments, graphic illustrations and listening stations
    interacting with the museum guest. The design alternates
    between glass showcases making the instruments seemingly
    float in the air and open tableaus showing larger instruments.
    • The cabinets are interspersed with chunks of text, graphic
    illustrations and listening stations that give an interactive
    element to the displays.
