The Royal Danish Academy of Music, Singapore

A Modernist Masterpiece Reimagined for Sound and Design

The Radio House in Copenhagen, originally the headquarters of Denmark’s Radio, is celebrated as a pinnacle of Danish Modernism. Designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen and inaugurated in 1945, the building reflects Bauhaus-inspired principles of clean lines, geometric forms, and functional design. Listed in 1994, it has housed the Royal Danish Academy of Music since 2008, accommodating concert halls, rehearsal rooms, and music studios while preserving its iconic facades and roof garden.

The interior was thoughtfully rebuilt to meet the stringent acoustic needs of the academy without compromising its architectural integrity. Central to the seating strategy is the Trinidad Chair, whose curved shell provides comfort, ventilation, and scalability for large spaces such as concert halls and auditoriums. Its elegant design blends functionality with subtle modernist aesthetics, complementing the building’s heritage.

Originally commissioned to serve Denmark’s national broadcasting needs, the Radio House remains a symbol of Danish architectural innovation. Its combination of historic Modernist design, adaptive reuse, and carefully selected furnishings illustrates how functionalism and artistry can coexist in a space that continues to inspire musicians and visitors alike.
