ARCOLA THEATRE- ARCOLA PROJECT

Over the past month we've been working on project for the Arcola Theatre.  As part of our course we have been asked to redesign the ground floor of the building; with our focus primarily on the Lobby and Bar Area.

At the beginning of the project we went to the site to take, photographs, make notes and begin creating a floor plan on Auto Cad.







From talking to staff and researching we found Arcola to be incredibly energy efficient, and it is a top priority for them to maintain and even expand on this.  
The design needs to be kept to minimal costs overall and 'Creating Identity' is an important factor.  Arcola wishes are to keep an industrial theme and show exposed brick in the space.
