Sala 2
This is the second largest concert hall in Casa da Música. Designed for general versatility, it is able to host any kind of event. Its phenomenal acoustics result from the cladding of walls and ceilings with perforated plywood, which is not painted in a conventional manner with spray or brush but dipped in red paint, giving it a very natural tone with slight nuances.
Stage structures, chairs, lights, the sound system, control tables, in fact everything, can be moved or removed. A huge window facing South, essential to ensure the elegance of this space, means that during the day, much of the natural light in the Suggia Hall is filtered, to take on a reddish tone.
Access is through two glass and aluminium doors, integrated into the foyer partition panels, containing a high degree of sound insulation. These doors slide, assisted by a motor at the bottom, and provide a permanent opening safety system from the inside. The floor of the hall and its foyer is made of industrial oak parquet from France, which is painted black.
