30 Second Briefing
Vinci Construction’s Polish subsidiary Warbud has secured the €149m second-phase contract for Sinfonia Varsovia’s new home in Warsaw, centred on Poland’s largest concert hall with 1,877 seats. The scheme includes renovation and structural integration of two historic buildings totalling 2,185 sq m with the main hall, plus a 400-metre suspended promenade and public garden that will impose complex foundation, vibration control and acoustic interface requirements. Completion is scheduled for 2030, adding to Warbud’s track record on major Polish cultural projects in Białystok, Katowice, Szczecin and Warsaw.
Technical Brief
- Contract value for Warbud’s second-phase package is €149m, indicating a high-spec cultural build.
- Two heritage structures totalling 2,185 m² must be structurally tied into the new complex.
- A 400 m suspended promenade introduces long-span vibration and dynamic serviceability design requirements.
- Integration of music production and broadcast facilities implies extensive acoustic isolation and MEP coordination.
- Completion target of 2030 sets a multi-year programme with long-duration façade, fit-out and commissioning phases.
- Renovation of historic buildings will likely require staged works, temporary works and constrained-access logistics.
- Public garden over or adjacent to structures will drive waterproofing, drainage and root-barrier detailing.
