Recent Activity
In 2018/19 Adam was in Hong Kong working with his friend David Rule, owner of the Serious Group of companies. Amongst other things, he directed the design of a new type of theatre, one that would support a full tilt production of, say, Phantom of the Opera but it would be movable - demountable in other words. Read more about de-mountable theatre.
In 2019/20 Adam was in the UAE working with Adrian Bell of Action Impact. His task was to direct the production of a high-profile audio/visual visitor centre for a multinational corporation. The work was innovative in that the design called for it to be updatable and state of the art, but also to be installed within the corporation’s headquarters.
​
The project has led Adam to think hard about the upcoming need to re-purpose office space for innovation and experience centres now that so many more people are working from home and only coming into the office once or twice a week.
