Overview:
On our 1st event at Southport we just covered the restaurant
area and now 18 years on we are covering the whole interior complex! We
are always experimenting with designs and pushing the boundries in what
can be done with light and texture here.
The main room is a blend of drapes, light and video and this is what
gives it its magic. We have produced and installed concept rooms for sponsers
such as Marlboro, Marlboro Menthal, Smirnoff, Morgan Spiced Rum, Bacardi
B Bar and Alize and draped areas for Red stripe, Red Bull and many others. The
Powerhouse room has always been a showcase for us and we constantly
try to out do ourselves for each event. We have four days to set
up all the rooms which gives you time to really work a space to get something
really special in return.
For this event we build walls to create
more rooms so now we dress and theme
the power house,
the funkbase,
the connioussiors corner,
the Beat bar,
the chillout lounge, the Red Stripe lounge,
the VIP area,
the main bar, the reception,
the out door area and catering and green rooms!
