The Fountain Court’s open-air setting and surrounding stone facades create a distinctive acoustic, and Lexa’s approach would design sound reinforcement specifically for an outdoor space enclosed by historic architecture.

INTRODUCTION







A working arts centre on the Strand beside the Thames, Somerset House is built around Sir William Chambers’ 18th century neoclassical quadrangle, with the Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court at its heart holding up to 1,500 guests for a standing reception or 550 seated, regularly transformed for everything from an ice rink to a film set. Twelve further blank canvas spaces across the building give organisers a genuine range beyond the courtyard.
An open-air courtyard framed by listed architecture calls for production that respects both the setting and the weather. Lexa’s approach at Somerset House would treat the Fountain Court’s neoclassical facade as the backdrop it deserves, building sound, lighting and staging that transform the space without ever overwhelming Chambers’ original design.
