从市中心进入剧院时唯一看得见的变化是剧院塔的四米高。主舞台的舞台技术将完全更新，目前的塔必须提高。加装将形成一个发光的玻璃灯笼，留下独特的形状，旧塔可识别。

The only visible alteration when approaching the theatre from the city centre is the four meter elevation of the theatre tower. The stage technology for the main stage will be completely updated, and the current tower has to be raised. The add-on will form a glowing glass lantern, leaving the distinctive shape of the old tower recognizable.

The actual expansion is a simple rectangular volume located perpendicularly to the existing volume. The new stage connects to the main stage like a horizontal version of the stage tower. It is a solid and permanent, contemporary addition which continues and complements the old structure with equal quality and permanence.

The old building has a beautiful and timeless material palette consisting of white concrete panels, glass and terracotta tiles. The extension is clad in white concrete panels with a wrinkled, varying surface form, which indicates a similar acoustically optimized cladding inside the new hall.
