Skandiascenen is a modern addition to the historic Cirkus theatre, in Stockholm, founded in 1892. The new construction was built into a niche of solid rock on very limited grounds and houses a new foyer, stage and salon seating 800 theatre guests. White Arkitekter?s creative solution was to place large portion of the house below ground allowing the foyers to be placed on two different levels.
