联盟剧院成立于1968年，是一个托尼奖获奖的地区剧院，位于著名的伍德拉夫艺术中心校园内。最初阶段的工作重点是会议厅、大厅和艺术配套设施，这些设施被挖空，与原来的混凝土围墙连成一体。改造将650座的会议厅拉近了10英尺。会议室的规划优化了现场线路，利用坡道代替电梯和综合楼梯，提供通往所有楼层的通道。每一个表面都经过了声学调谐，为其赞助人提供了世界级的剧院
设计团队感到有责任消除阳台和管弦乐队之间的隔阂，这是对历史上种族隔离和歧视观念的挑战。所有座位区可从会议厅内的每个入口进入，这是联盟剧院改造的统一规划特征。
特拉汉建筑师组建了一个世界级的团队，在建筑规模上实施手工蒸汽弯曲技术和艺术。从概念到施工，该项目展示了艺术家Matthias Pliessnig、Trahan Architects和木制品制造商CW Keller Associates之间的合作创新。其结果是一系列漂亮的蒸汽弯曲木制品护栏和阳台，将手工工艺与大规模生产相结合。声学性能的综合，手工驱动的艺术性，精密的激光定位都是精心设计的，以执行复杂的蒸汽弯曲加工，而不需要浪费的数控模具。该产品售价330美元/平方英尺，经证明既经济又令人惊叹。

The Alliance Theatre, founded in 1968, is a Tony award-winning regional theatre located within the celebrated Woodruff Arts Center campus. The initial phase of work focused on the chamber, its lobby and artistic support facilities which were gutted to the original concrete enclosing walls. The transformation pulled the 650 seat chamber 10’ closer to stage. The planning of the chamber optimized site lines, utilized ramping in lieu of lifts and integrated stairs to provide access to all levels. Each surface was tuned acoustically to deliver world class theatre to its patrons.
The design team felt a responsibility to remove the separation between balcony and orchestra – challenging historic notions of segregation and discrimination. All seating zones can be accessed from every entrance within the chamber – a unifying planning feature of the Alliance Theatre Transformation.
Trahan Architects assembled a world class team to implement handcrafted steam bending techniques and artistry on an architectural scale. From concept to construction the project demonstrates innovation through collaboration between artist Matthias Pliessnig, Trahan Architects, & millwork fabricators, CW Keller Associates. The result is a series of beautiful steam bent millwork guardrails and balconies that merge hand craft with mass production. The synthesis of acoustic performance, hand driven artistry, and sophisticated laser positioning are all carefully choregraphed to execute the complex steam bent millwork without the need for wasteful CNC molds. Delivered for $330/sf, the product has proven to be both economical and stunning.
