Our Role
The project delivered a new-build theatre incorporating the conversion of the existing Tara Studio into an outstanding 100-seat producing theatre with rehearsal, workshop and support facilities.
It created a unique, culturally inclusive venue supporting diverse audiences and creative exchange. Facilities were designed to support children’s theatre, community engagement and commercial performance activity alongside professional production use.
The project achieved a BREEAM Very Good rating and incorporated a focused package of environmental improvements, including:
• Photovoltaic panels
• Rainwater harvesting systems
• Green roof installations
These measures were integrated to enhance long-term environmental performance while maintaining cost and operational efficiency.
This project delivered a new-build, high-quality producing venue and permanent home for Tara Arts, a diverse-led theatre group with a strong focus on inclusivity, sustainability and community engagement.
Appointed as Project Manager, Employer’s Agent, Contract Administrator and Quantity Surveyor, we provided full project and cost management services throughout the lifecycle of the project.
The scheme was subject to extensive legal and technical requirements, including Network Rail approvals and 11 party wall agreements, requiring careful coordination and stakeholder management throughout design and construction.
Our role included securing Arts Council England Stage 2 funding and developing and implementing a robust fundraising strategy to support successful project delivery.
