Regent Theatre Redevelopment

The project faithfully recreated the historic establishment using old image records, following a 25 year period of neglect. Installation of sophisticated fire systems, electrical services, audiovisual services and mechanical air conditioning was required, following a fire that ensued throughout the theatre.

Plans were modified to incorporate a new fly tower – a major structure that ran through the height of the building, from the foundations to the roof.

The most challenging aspect was the reproduction of the Plaza Ballroom below the theatre. Using original images, craftsmen and specialist contractors, the moulded plaster, heritage lighting, painting and metalwork were successfully restored.
