State Music School No. 1, Warsaw, Poland

Alongside the historical building, a new complex has been designed for the new music school in Warsaw. The concert space is located in the centre of the newly designed part, offering best acoustics thanks to its unique oval shape and exposed concrete walls. 

To guarantee best acoustics inside, Tomasz Konior and his architects team from KONIOR STUDIO designed a concrete skin with a custom design from the RECKLI UNIQUE serie. As well as an aesthetic role, the formliner with offset protruding elements also takes on an acoustic function. The experts at Alstal used the RECKLI formliners to pour in-situ concrete. In total, they needed 35 formliners at 2m x 0.7m to create internal walls made from the highest class of exposed concrete.  The concrete elements were then painted.
