The brief
Three narrow terraces, no vehicle access beyond the top gate, a cliff edge on one side and neighbours who had to be able to sleep.
What we did
Everything was hand-carried or craned from the road. The stage was built as a single sculptural monolith with baffle arrays that directed sound out to sea, and the fireworks were choreographed to a live score so the finale lasted four minutes, not forty.
What it delivered
The party ran to 3 a.m. with no noise complaint recorded, and the terraces were cleared and restored within thirty-six hours.
