Project Details
The porte cochère provides a wide range of functional uses supporting the Royal International Convention Centre (RICC) and, as an integrated extension of The Plaza, a range of flexible options for events.

The saw tooth roof, referencing the former 'Industrial Pavilion' form, is oriented to maximise shade and all weather protection. The canopy structure also incorporates services and rigging elements to accommodate flexible staging modes for varying functions and events.
