We were tasked by our client to design and build an exhibition stand to launch Scottish Water’s new Nature Calls 2 campaign at the Ideal Home Show. As this was the client’s first time exhibiting at the event, the stand needed to have the impact and quality expected at a show of this scale.
The brief was to create a structure resembling two neighbouring houses, with a clear visual divide between them. The stand also needed to incorporate immersive lighting and soundscapes, along with an interactive activity designed to attract visitors and encourage engagement.
To bring the stand to life, we incorporated an LED screen that served as both the main backdrop and a key element of the interactive experience. With such a limited footprint, integrating the LED presented a significant challenge. We developed a bespoke rigging solution that allowed the entire support structure to fit within an 800mm void at the rear of the stand.
By replacing conventional rigging with a counterweighted scaffold system and designing custom-cut timber supports, we were able to safely and securely house the LED wall within the restricted space without compromising the overall design.
The interactive experience was enhanced with carefully programmed lighting and sound cues to recreate the feeling of standing on a real front porch. To achieve this, we integrated multiple software platforms using synchronised timecode and cueing, allowing the entire sequence to be triggered seamlessly at the push of a button.
