The Brief

Located in the middle of Old Street roundabout and accessed by a secret staircase in the tube stations, this unique and immersive venue asked us to turn their space into an ‘Urban Jungle’.

The Installation

From previous seasons, the venue had lots of UV paint decorations which we incorporated into the design. To reinforce the jungle theme, we used some Matin Rush DC1 Aquas lighting that gave the impression that the floor was being hit with light coming through a leafy canopy. For general lighting we installed some LED tape around the bar and seating areas and some festoons outside.

The Challenges

Some of the challenges came from the venue being completely outdoor, meaning that at the design stage we had to restrict the range of equipment and cables to those being 100% waterproof. Also, the venue didn’t want to use any truss, so all equipment had to be rigged from either the brick walls or stud work.
