Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House  Peter Hall's interest in interior architecture is on full display 

Hall's interpretation of the harbour-facing glass walls was designed to endure and survive the extreme changes in temperature that affect the building on a daily basis. Although Hall's design splays outwards in a distinctly different way to the original design, Utzon reflected in the late 1990s that: "The glass wall, which has been built, is in family with the glass wall we arrived at with its feeling of its hanging from the shell, but the old solution was not splaying it out, as it has been done ... In both versions you have, as you walk around the foyer, the full unimpeded view of the Sydney Harbour. You get a fantastic feeling of openness of space after being inside the auditoria."

Utzon left little documentation or plans to complete the building in the aftermath of his resignation. Hall and his partners worked through the requirements to establish a new brief to complete the building.
