The amphitheater hall design project in Oman was carried out by Rezco, focusing on clear stage visibility, organized seat rows, and efficient use of the hall space. The project services included layout design, spatial calculations, and specialized consultation for hall design and equipment, tailored to meetings, lectures, and educational and official programs.
During the design process, seat placement and access routes were reviewed in relation to the hall dimensions and stage position. The seat selection and recommendations regarding décor, lighting, sound, video, and acoustics were also prepared according to the intended use and existing spatial structure.

Seat Layout and Access-Route Design
In designing the seating layout for the Oman amphitheater, the required hall capacity, spacing between rows, and seat positions relative to the stage were reviewed together. The placement of access routes was also part of the design so that the row arrangement would correspond with the hall’s usage and existing spatial structure.
Audience visibility toward the stage and the visual order of the rows were key design priorities. The seating arrangement was also reviewed in relation to the interior architecture so that the hall layout would suit meetings, lectures, and educational and official programs.
Selection of Amphitheater Chairs with Writing Tablets and Wooden Seats and Backs
The seat selected for this project was an amphitheater chair with a writing tablet and wooden seat and back. This selection was made according to the official and educational nature of the hall, and the chair design was reviewed in relation to the row arrangement, planned spacing, and interior design.
The seating-placement consultation also covered how the chairs would be positioned in rows and connected to access routes. In this section, seat selection and layout design were reviewed together so that the proposed furniture would coordinate with the organization of the hall space.
Capacity, Row Spacing, and Viewing-Range Calculations
The hall design calculations were based on the space dimensions, required capacity, number of rows, spacing between rows, access-route widths, and users’ viewing range. The goal was to coordinate seat placement with the hall structure and functional requirements.
During this process, the number and arrangement of rows were reviewed in relation to the available space. Users’ positions relative to the stage were also considered so that decisions regarding capacity, spacing, and layout could be made in coordination with one another.
Interior Décor and Hall Lighting Consultation
The interior décor consultation focused on reviewing design solutions and selecting materials suitable for the hall’s use. The relationship between interior décor products and the proposed finishes, furniture, and seat rows was reviewed to ensure visual and functional coordination between all design elements.
Lighting solutions suitable for the spatial structure and type of hall use were also reviewed and recommended. This consultation was carried out in connection with the interior design and overall organization of the hall.
Audio, Video, and Acoustic System Consultation
As part of the specialized equipment services, suitable solutions for audio and video systems were reviewed and recommended. Acoustic requirements were also assessed according to the existing space and hall use so that the recommendations would coordinate with the interior architecture, seating layout, and expected hall performance.
The selection of acoustic finishes depends on the spatial conditions, installation location, and acoustic requirements of the hall. Acoustic ceiling tiles can be considered as a ceiling-covering option for similar spaces.
