Netherwood was been an incredible opportunity - to design a contemporary chapel and wedding venue - catering for the discerning client.

It was important for the Venue to be functional - to manage the possible 250+ guests and their movements with ease. The design and construction details for the Venue therefore focussed on making the space seem inseparable from the surrounding nature - so that visitors did not feel "caged" at any point. Further, it was decided to detail the functional areas like the Bar and Bathrooms to be as indestructable as possible - resulting in a (literally) solid rock bar, as well as using vintage railway sleepers as counters in the bathrooms.

Anatomy Design was commissioned to complete a full architectural solution :

• Concept
• Layout and Space Planning
• Full Interior Design and specification
• Costing
• Services and Electrical documentation

Curtains segment the space - allowing the venue to cater to functions ranging from an intimate 100 guest, right through to a boisterous 250 guest function. The volume of the shed was a concern - so chandelier details were added to break the sheer height of the structure.

A full set of working drawings were produced - detailing all construction details, services and electrical requirements, lighting, plumbing and door schedules. All Shopfitting details were provided from the Rock Bar - through to the custom hand made copper basins.

Some items from the conceptual stage.
