House of Vans

Providing technical support to the excellent Black Sparrow Team to assist in the creation of possibly the most unique event space in Europe. From the Foo Fighters to Public Enemy the place never ceases to wow all those who enter

Brief

Working via our long standing partnerships with uber-cool London agency ‘Black Sparrow’ we were asked to deliver all of the technical aspects and assist in the build delivery of the landmark venue ‘House of Vans’ in Waterloo, London..

Delivery

Working within the tight constraints of the venue itself we installed a multi-purpose lighting, audio and staging system that could work for anything from a product launch or visiting rock dignitary.

Using counter-intuitive thinking to solve audio bounce back in a tunnel, we also designed and created bespoke trusswork, staging and barrier components to provide the frame work to an in house technical system that could withstand both the abuse and the unique climactic conditions of the venue. The cinema, bars and turnstile installation and the site wide broadcast quality wifi was also in our remit.

The technical production management at many of the events at the venue forms our ongoing role and contribution to this unique and amazing space.

Results

Some of the finest bands, DJ’s and performers in the world have been through the ever revolving doors, creating some landmark parties. Our friendship with the Black Sparrow and VANS teams continues both at HOV and on many other projects here and overseas. We are truly proud and grateful to have been part of this, the coolest venue ever!
