David Chipperfield Architects has submitted its planning application for the IMPACT Centre, the proposed new home for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, including a series of new visuals.
The 1,000-seat venue, designed by the David Chipperfield-led practice, is proposed for a prominent site within Edinburgh's New Town. Designed as a permanent home for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the building will also contain a 200-seat rehearsal space, cafe, bar and dedicated educational spaces.
The latest visualisations show the position of the concert hall in relationship to St Andrews Square – one of the New Town's principal squares. Named the IMPACT Centre, the proposed venue will stand directly behind the RBS headquarters in the Grade-A listed Dundas House.

Another view shows the view from the gallery, which surrounds the main auditorium, on the second floor of the building.
Through full-height windows, visitors to the building will have views across Dundas House and down George Street.
David Chipperfield建筑事务所表示：“无论在空间上还是材质上，新场馆的立面与新城的建筑都紧密相连。”
Further images show the facades of the building that have been redesigned since the initial visuals of the project were released earlier this year. The new visualisations show a more pared-back and uniform design for the building's lower floors.
"The facades of the new venue relate to the architecture of the New Town in both their order and materiality," said David Chipperfield Architects.
"The expression of a base, middle and top, found on other neoclassical buildings, is picked up by the composition of the venue's massing while the texture and tone of its concrete picks up the various sandstones found in the New Town," continued the practice.
"The metal-clad dome completes the crown of the building, announcing its public nature and aligning with the other civic buildings across the city."
David Chipperfield建筑事务所在去年的国际音乐与表演艺术慈善信托基金（IMPACT）设计场地的国际竞赛中斩获头名，其它的入围选手还有Adjaye Associates、Allies and Morrison、Barozze Veiga、KPMB Architects以及 Richard Murphy 等建筑事务所。
该事务所正在与爱丁堡Reiach and Hall事务所合作，目的是为了该项目的顺利交付。
The building's main auditorium will be raised above ground level to create an open foyer. This entrance space would have three public entrances, with a fourth planned to directly link to Dundas House's domed banking hall.
David Chipperfield Architects won an international competition to design the venue for the International Music and Performing Arts Charitable Trust (IMPACT) last year, beating a shortlist containing Adjaye Associates, Allies and Morrison, Barozze Veiga, KPMB Architects and Richard Murphy Architects.
The firm is working with Edinburgh-based Reiach and Hall to deliver the building.
