Theatres
Designing the ‘urban village hall’ takes a particular skill in delivering a space that might hold badminton one minute and a jazz concert in the same evening.
Southwark Playhouse is a 70 seat theatre where we assisted the client to obtain £100K funding from the Arts Lottery to: remove a column from the centre of the stage, insert a new control room, bar area, toilets, install an accessible toilet and refurbish the dressing room.

The Drill Hall Theatre was threatened with closure due wiring, and a 100 year old leaking roof on a listed structure. We delivered a cleaned, re roofed, re wired, refurbished building with newly developed dressing rooms (dug out of the old rifle range). Oh, and did we mention that during the whole project the BBC broadcast 100’s of hours of comedy from the Drill Hall!

The Oxford Playhouse needed a foyer refurbishment and an accessible toilet.

Wraysbury village hall is used every day of the week and was bursting at the seams. A new extension and refurbishment of the stage and backstage areas allowed an expansion of the scale and quality of the activities.

The London Film School had a huge column in its largest stage area in its listed warehouse in Covent Garden. This kind of project is largely logistic – getting cranes in, organising permissions, getting rid of asbestos, but the difference it makes to the organisation is terrific.
