The building’s architecture is noted for its modern design incorporating brickwork that echoes the historical buildings of Bruges, aiming to blend contemporary aesthetics with the city’s heritage.

The concert hall itself is specifically designed for optimal acoustics, catering to a wide range of musical performances including orchestral concerts, chamber music, and recitals. It has become a key location for classical music programming in West Flanders, hosting both local and international ensembles. The venue's capacity is approximately 900 seats. It is considered one of Belgium’s premier concert halls.
