The international architectural competition for the design of the new headquarters of Sinfonia Varsovia and the development of the area at 272 Grochowska Street was settled in 2010. The jury selected the winning concept – a design by Atelier Thomas Pucher from Graz – from among 138 works.

In October 2015, in the presence of Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, the Mayor of the Capital City of Warsaw, a contract for the preparation of design documentation was signed. The stage was completed in 2021.

The investment was divided into two phases. The first, which includes the modernization of three historic front buildings and the construction of underground infrastructure, is nearing completion and, according to the latest schedule, will be delivered in mid-2026. The renovated premises will include two chamber music halls, educational spaces, artist residences, a restaurant and café, and technical facilities. The second phase includes the construction of Poland’s largest concert hall – with 1,877 seats – whose design was created in cooperation with renowned acousticians from Berlin (Müller-BBM) and Brussels (Eckhard Kahle Acoustics). Its form combines the traditional shoebox layout with modern vineyard typology. The tender for this phase was announced on May 13, 2025, and work is scheduled for completion in 2030.

Ultimately, the project will include the restoration of five historic buildings of the former Institute of Veterinary Medicine, and the area around them will be transformed into a public garden space connected to an adjacent park. A lattice frame “suspended” more than 3 meters above the ground, with stairs leading to a promenade with a sweeping view of Warsaw, will be an integral part of the complex.

The aim of the investment is to create a modern cultural center of Warsaw – a place filled with music, open for education, recreation and meetings – with Sinfonia Varsovia at its heart. By integrating artistic, social and spatial functions, the project will provide residents with access to a multidimensional cultural infrastructure.
