The House of Rebels
Custom 300 m² stretch membrane structure for a high-capacity corporate festival, engineered for seamless AV integration and fast deployment.
The briefing
Designing and installing a custom stretch structure for a high-capacity corporate festival, tailored specifically for House of HR. Thousands of attendees from across Europe, top international acts setting the stage for a structure that demanded more than a standard event setup.
A true celebration
Fast Forward Events approached us to translate our modular hexagonal system into a structure for one of their key stages, the Rebel Shelter. What started as a chat around our larger Hex 900 structure quickly shifted direction.The question was simple, but not obvious: could we scale it down without losing its architectural logic. Smaller you said??
Small by design
The challenge was not scale, but intention. Within a large-scale festival environment, the stretch structure had to create intimacy without losing presence. At the same time, this temporary membrane structure needed to integrate seamlessly into a complex event setup, supporting lighting, sound and AV without compromise, while maintaining the intrinsic logic of the hexagonal stretch structure.
Celebrating love and music together.
We embraced the challenge, developing a custom 300 m² hybrid stretch membrane structure that balances intimacy with the hexagon’s core logic. Geometry, substructure and ballast were engineered as one coherent temporary structure, ensuring stability, fast deployment and seamless AV integration.
Compact in footprint, precise in performance, the structure anchored the ‘Rebel Shelter’ stage within a high-capacity festival environment, contributing to an award-winning production recognised at the BEA World Awards.
