I was brought in by Picturesque Productions as part of their carpentry team for this massive project. A large event space, restaurant and bar, Farmopolis is housed inside a 600m² polytunnel, built on a jetty on the Greenwich peninsular.

 

We laid 600m² of decking, which we painstakingly set at alternating angles as a design feature. The huge area made it very difficult to keep everything square, and this was made even harder by the fact that the decking followed a zigzag design.  We also fabricated a large selection of bespoke benches and planters, which we made in a nearby workshop and then installed on site.

 

Project responsibilities:

- Interpretation of design drawings

- Bench joinery

- Decking

- Installation of planters and seating areas

- Problem solving
