A theatre has opened in London's Soho that can be completely reconfigured at the touch of a button.
The Boulevard theatre features stalls and a balcony that both revolve independently, along with a stage that moves up and down, making a wide variety of different configurations possible.

The entire project is designed by Soda, a London-based studio that works across architecture, interiors and graphic design. It forms part of a new development called Walker's Court, in the heart of Soho.
Behind the project is Fawn James of Soho Estates, whose grandfather Paul Raymond established the Raymond Revuebar, an infamous strip club that originally occupied part of the site.

"For me it was all about celebrating my grandfather, my heritage and also Soho," she explained during a tour of the building. "This site has played such an important role to the local history of our 'village' of Soho, so we knew it was vital for us to bring back a place for performance and entertainment."

The Boulevard takes its name from a theatre that served as a sister venue to the Revuebar. It played host to a wide variety of performances, from traditional drama to erotica, and was also home to standup comedians The Comic Strip.
With the introduction of revolving elements, the new theatre can be even more versatile.

Soda worked with theatre specialist Charcoalblue to make the auditorium as functional as possible. The transformations all take less than 10 minute...
