中国爱乐乐团音乐厅由国家发改委批准建造，属国家新闻出版广电总局重点工程，位于北京朝阳区工人体育场东门南侧，占地11600平方米，建筑面积26587平方米，建成后将成为坐落于北京的世界级专业音乐厅。
The China Philharmonic Orchestra concert hall was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, and the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film, and Television of the People’s Republic of China considers it a high-priority national project. Located at the south side of the Workers Stadium East Gate in Beijing’s Central Business District, the concert hall covers a site of 11,600 sqm, and has a total floor area of 26,587 sqm
地处繁华的三里屯商区，MAD希望将这座音乐厅设计成为一座大隐于市的文化殿堂。 “她就好像是闹市中的一处圣洁的花园。” 建筑师马岩松介绍，“在你进入音乐厅的那一刻，她就把你带到了另一个时空。” 为了达到音乐厅极高的声学效果，声学大师丰田泰久将操刀音乐厅内部的声场设计。他曾主持过洛杉矶华特迪斯尼音乐厅、巴黎爱乐音乐厅、东京三得利音乐厅等世界级音乐厅的声学设计。
Ma Yansong envisions the concert hall as a hidden gem and a peaceful cultural escape from the city. “We wanted to create a pure and sacred oasis in the midst of the bustling city,” says Ma Yansong, founder & principal partner of MAD Architects. “From the moment you enter the building, you will be taken to another time and space.” To ensure the design also meets the highest standards for classical music performances, the acoustic design was developed by Yasuhisa Toyota, whom has designed world-class concert venues such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Philharmonie de Paris, and the Suntory Hall in Japan.

音乐厅主体建筑被一片绿色盎然的树林和南侧的荷花池围绕，半透明的帷幕隐约浮现于丛林之中。当人们穿过城市和丛林，会被这片像玉一般的白润圣洁的光所吸引。进入音乐厅的大厅，演出开始之前，人们好像置身于一个会呼吸的光的空间装置；在白天，自然光则穿过白色半透明的外墙，漫射到这个简洁的空间中，来自城市的观众在这里好像经过了光的沐浴，准备开始一段关于对音乐，对自然，和自我发现的旅程。
The building is surrounded by a lotus pond and lush greenery. The translucent façade gently emerges from the landscape like a piece of jade. While walking past the building, people will be attracted to its soft glow. Once inside the lobby, audience members will feel like they are entering an installation of light and space. Daylight is diffused through the translucent white curtain wall into the lucid space. “Audiences will experience a transition from an urban setting to one of music and nature, preparing them for a journey of self-discovery,” says Ma Yansong.

进入1600座的主音乐厅，内部采用了环抱葡萄园式的空间布局。音乐厅木质池座呈自然形态层层环绕跌落，而顶棚的白色声音反射板呈现出莲花瓣一样的布局，自然光从天空洒下，观众好像置身于一朵含苞待放的花朵之中。当音乐奏起，光线和环绕投影可随之变换，犹如置身山水自然之中。这是一个极端抽象的空间，通过光和影像将观众带到任何一个远离城市和喧嚣的场景。
The 1,600-seat main concert hall is laid out in a vineyard style, with the seating surrounding the stage; rising up in serried rows in the manner of the sloping terraces. Its wooden lakes organically surround the stage while the white sound reflection petals on the ceiling are designed to resemble the segments of a lotus flower. The natural light coming from above will make audience members feel as if they are in the center of a blooming flower. Lighting and visualizations can be projected onto the white petals and choreographed to match the musical performances. MAD has created an abstracted space that allows the audiences to escape from the city and retreat into various sceneries.

The China Philharmonic Hall designed by MAD Architects will begin construction later this year, and is expected to be completed in 2019. Rooted in Eastern philosophy, the China Philharmonic Hall aims to create a new formula for concert hall design and introduce a space within the busy city that promotes conversations between people, nature, and music.
