And be sure to watch the video, the calliope show isn't to be missed!
Entry into the Organ Hall inspires wonder. The space is cavernous and overwhelming. Entrance from the lobby is located at the two topmost levels of the space, so that when users wander in they don’t see the floor but instead a large pit descending down into something mysterious.
This mystery won’t be spoiled here, watch the video for the full experience. But when the space unfolds, all the odd architectural forms and spatial arrangements will come to life.
Ordering of forms and penetration of light mimics the vertically dropping nature of stalactites in a cave. Geometry cascades down from the top here, rather than cascading up from the ground. Inversion of the expected spatial presence of bottom heavy buildings at ground level.
All throughout the Organ Hall are small little nooks and crevices. The ground has subfloor seating carved in, stair switchbacks have big rounded landings for small gatherings, the sides of the hall are flanked by viewing areas, and the rear of the hall features little fireplace nooks for reading and enjoying drinks.
The Organ Hall is truly a unique hall with show-stopping things to sea, don’t miss out.
