Context

London’s Royal Opera House is in the north east corner of Covent Garden. Overlooking the piazza is a 5th floor decking area of around 600sqm. For many years this was a hardwood deck, but when Stanton Williams Architects were asked to oversee the redevelopment of this area a new deck was an integral part of the plan.

Challenge

Originally a rest area for staff at the Royal Opera House, the decking area was to be re-purposed as part restaurant, part relaxation area, part meeting space, and part open air dance training studio.

Work undertaken

The Outdoor Deck Company was commissioned to install the Grad decking system supplied by Alfresco Floors.

Outcome

The finished deck is part of a major transformation of the Royal Opera House.
