Sculpting Light and Form in a Sports Icon<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n

The new workshop, boasting outstanding green credentials is used by London\u2019s Royal Opera House to build scenery for its ballet and operatic performances. Stretching over 400sq metres and designed with a distinctive propped arch roof, the building resembles an aircraft hangar.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing Precision Meets Architectural Ambition<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n

SAS metal work was supplied for the workshop suspended in upside down peaks at around 19m to accommodate the full-scale scenery. Whilst being an aesthetically brilliant choice the metal ceiling maintains acoustic comfort throughout the large open space.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
