Set design & scenic build / London & UKStart with a space.
Make it yours.
Powerhouse creates event sets and scenic environments in London and across the UK. We work with agencies, planners, venues and private clients to turn a creative brief into a physical setting, from a single branded backdrop to a complete stage environment.
Shape, colour, graphics and finishes work together with the room, the audience and the technical production. The result should feel made for your event, from the first view to the smallest detail.
One space.
Endless possibilities.
Explore three approaches to the stage and the space around it.
The details
make the world.
A scenic environment is made from connected decisions. We develop the elements around your brief, balancing visual impact with access, installation and the way the space will be used.
For Ventura’s yacht launch, Powerhouse supplied a custom stage, scenic set and branded lectern alongside the LED video wall.
Explore the Pershing stage & scenic projectShape the setting.
Stage backdrops, scenic walls, screen surrounds and statement entrances establish the proportions of the space. We consider the room, audience views and the areas that need a clear focal point.
Make your mark.
Printed scenic panels, graphics, branded feature areas and stage fascia carry your identity through the event. Colour, scale and placement connect the design across the room and on camera.
Finish the picture.
Custom and printed flooring, surface finishes and the edges between elements complete the environment. Those details help the stage and surrounding space feel like one considered design.
Made to be seen.
Finished with care.
The finished environment depends on the work that happens before guests arrive. Layout, preparation, installation and finishing turn the design into a space that is ready for the event.
Our scenic approach sits alongside sound, lighting and video. We coordinate the set with the technical requirements, so screen positions, equipment access and the running order are considered from the outset.
Connect the set with the showDefine the world.
Share the brief, venue, audience and visual references. Together we establish what the setting needs to say and do.
Work through the detail.
Layouts, scenic elements and finishes are developed around the space. CAD drawings and 3D visualisation can help you review the design before installation.
Bring it into the room.
Coordinate the build and installation with venue access, the wider production and the time available to prepare the event.
Room for
your questions.
Can you work from our existing creative concept?
Yes. We work with agencies, event planners and clients who have a developed concept, as well as briefs that need shaping. Share your drawings, brand guidelines and references so we can understand what needs to be delivered.
Can you provide one scenic element or a complete set?
We can help with individual backdrops, branded panels, stage finishes or flooring, as well as a coordinated scenic environment. The scope is developed around your event, venue and budget.
Do you design for corporate and private events?
Yes. Set and scenic design can support conferences, awards, product launches, brand activations, weddings and private celebrations. We adapt the visual approach and practical layout to the audience and format.
How do you plan a set around the venue?
We consider the room dimensions, audience sightlines, access routes and installation schedule alongside the creative brief. Stage layouts, screen positions and scenic elements are coordinated with the technical production and venue requirements.
What should we send with our brief?
Start with the date, venue, budget range and the purpose of the event. Floor plans, audience numbers, brand artwork and inspiration images help us explore the design and understand the installation requirements.
What world
shall we create?
A sketch. A reference. A room with potential. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll help shape the set, stage and scenic details around it.
