Tonhain featured in HEINZE
Studio De Schutter is featured in the October 2026 issue of HEINZE Journal Architektur und Planung with the lighting design for Tonhain, a new venue for chamber music and professional audio recording in Berlin.
Tonhain combines a concert space for up to 99 guests with a professional recording studio. Chamber music, recordings, rehearsals, masterclasses and multimedia formats all take place within the same space creating very different requirements for the lighting.
Studio De Schutter developed an immersive and highly flexible lighting concept in close dialogue with the architecture and acoustics. Linear lighting, precisely positioned spotlights and organically shaped ceiling elements form a system that can transform the room from warm and intimate concert settings to cooler, more focused scenarios for recording and performance.
The lighting becomes part of the architectural language of the room. Illuminated contours follow the geometry of the acoustic ceiling and create a distinctive visual element that changes together with the different lighting scenes.
The HEINZE feature presents Tonhain across several pages, combining project photography with lighting studies, drawings and plans to show how architecture, acoustics and lighting were developed as one interconnected system.
