The House of Music is a contemporary building in Budapest designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, featuring glass walls, organic patterns, and a perforated roof structure.

Part of the building called the Sound Dome features specialized rooms for electronic and experimental music using advanced sound technology. These spaces are designed to create specific acoustic conditions that enhance both artist performance and listener experience.
