Page\Park Architects has been chosen to lead a proposed £12 million foyer redevelopment project at Birmingham Symphony Hall.
The Glasgow-based practice has been appointed as part of the Multi-Disciplinary Design Team for the development, which includes ARUP, Max Fordham and Churchman Landscape Architects.
The scheme, which aims to extend the building's foyers onto the Birmingham Symphony Hall, is conditionally supported through the Local Growth Fund by the Greater Birmingham & Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership.
Nick Reed, Chief Executive Offer for Town Hall Symphony Hall, said: "This project will finally give Symphony Hall the foyers and public spaces to match its world class auditorium. Boasting a much improved audience experience and a dedicated entrance, this permeable space will be energised with new artistic adventures, creating a sustainable future for Symphony Hall, and developing an audience that looks like the city it serves: young, diverse and creative.
"Page \ Park have presented some inspiring ideas on how the building can help achieve our objectives and we look forward to now working with them to develop the detailed design."
David Page, Head of Architecture, said: "Birmingham’s Centenary Square is being transformed into a remarkable heart of the city with its assembly of important civic cultural buildings.
"The new Symphony Hall frontage will provide a multi levelled balcony to that new setting and Page \ Park are delighted to be able to shape that contribution."
