Practice Sector
Entertainment
We design creative spaces that bring stories to life - from cinemas and theatres to multi-use performance venues and cultural hubs. Our work in the entertainment sector blends function and atmosphere, ensuring every space supports both performance and audience experience.
In the entertainment sector, we combine architectural precision with a deep appreciation for performance and audience flow. Our process starts by mapping how people move, gather and experience sound and light within a space. We work closely with operators, production teams and local authorities to balance creative ambition with commercial viability — ensuring each project looks exceptional and performs flawlessly.
Every venue is different, and we believe great design supports the magic that happens on stage or screen. From intimate arts spaces to large-scale attractions, we design environments that make people want to return again and again.

Plan of Work
The RIBA Plan of Work breaks building projects into 8 stages, from briefing and design through to construction, operation and use. The Small Project version streamlines these tasks to help clients and architects work more closely. It’s designed to be used alongside the full 2013 Plan, with non-essential tasks removed for simplicity.
