How do you carry out modern construction work in one of England’s grandest historic settings, without disturbing its timeless beauty?
That was the challenge we faced at Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as while essential ceiling repairs were underway in the palace’s Saloon, we were commissioned to transform the visitor experience – maintaining a seamless sense of grandeur, even in the midst of construction.
Together with the creative minds at Creative Gravy, we were handed a delicate task: conceal four scaffold hoardings within an active public space without compromising the dignity and visual splendour of the room. The solution was a graceful and immersive fabric installation that would harmonise with the environment rather than distract from it.
Executing this project meant more than just design – it meant adapting to the rhythms of a living, breathing heritage site. From sound-conscious scheduling to zero-impact materials, every detail was considered through the lens of conservation and visitor experience.
What might look like a simple fabric covering was, in truth, a carefully choreographed installation, performed quietly, quickly and with deep reverence for centuries of craftsmanship.
Sometimes, the best design is the one that disappears into the story of the space…
As place makers, we blend high-quality materials, cutting-edge production automation, sustainable practices, and world-class craftsmanship to create unique installations that transform spaces into impactful places. We actively listen, question, and tackle complex technical design challenges, providing our dedicated partners with unprecedented solutions.
