Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts
London, UK
A new performance space for one of the UK’s leading performing arts institutions.
Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts is a new theatre and education campus in Peckham. We were appointed as theatre and acoustics consultants for the 200-seat theatre and accompanying teaching and rehearsal facilities.
Musical theatre performances are the primary use of the main space followed by spoken word, and it was essential for the theatre to work aesthetically, practically and acoustically. In determining the type of theatre that might be suitable for Mountview, we collaborated closely with staff and students, undertaking design workshops, study tours and precedent studies to get a sense of shape, size, flexibility, atmosphere and technical provision.
The design incorporated a high degree of flexibility for various formats and solutions to achieve ideal acoustic conditions, including noise transfer with neighbouring rehearsal and radio studios.
