大音乐厅的建造是法国广播电台改建工程的重点项目，由法国AS建筑工作室设计的全新大音乐厅完美地嵌入建筑改造的总体规划中，作为建筑新增的公共空间被环绕在面向塞纳河畔开放的玻璃景观长廊之中。

The construction of the Grand Auditorium is a key facility of the Maison de la Radio programme. Designed by Architecture-Studio, the new hall fits coherently into the overall plan at the intersection of the new public areas that take advantage of the vast, glazed foyers that open onto the Seine.

为解决空间不足的限制 ， 法国AS建筑工作室的设计加强纵向发展，设置多个悬空包厢，建造一个“以舞台为中心”的大音乐厅。1461个观众坐席被划分在环绕在乐池四周的不同小区域，这样的设计尽可能地缩小了观众与乐池的距离，最远处不超过17米。设计完美的将劣势转换为优势，让大音乐厅更具私密性，又让观众更加靠近舞台。

Architecture-Studio chose a «music-centred» hall and adapted to the limited space by developing a vertical volume where balconies are superimposed. The 1461 auditorium seats are distributed around the orchestra in small blocks, a layout which brings the audience close to the stage in proximity to the orchestra. The furthest distance between the audience and the stage is about 17 metres. Accordingly, what could have been as a constraint became an attribute: both intimacy and closeness.

大音乐厅的内壁完全由木质构成，无限延伸的木质条纹，让观众的注意力集中在舞台这一集合听觉与视觉的中心之上。榉木、桦木、樱桃木等多种种类的木材被混合用在不同部分的线脚元素中，像是由横向线条构成的细木镶嵌精品。

The atmosphere of the hall highlights this peculiarity creating a showcase for music, a homogeneous space predominantly in timber. The walls are broken down into many facets whose lines extend to infinity, yet always bring attention back to the centre, where visual and aural attention is concentrated. Several timber species (beech, birch, cherry) are used in the moulding composition of the different planes, like a large marquetry relief structured by a rhythm of horizontal lines.
