The new workshop, boasting outstanding

green credentials is used by London’s 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.

SAS System 330 Metal Ceilings were chosen

for the interior of 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.

With the sustainable products used

throughout the building, metal ceilings being

just one, the building has achieved a BREEAM

Excellent rating.
