Scope of Work: ThemeWorks themed the entire first floor of this unique attraction, including the upside-down grand lobby. Based on a science experiment gone awry, the grand lobby was designed as a Greek Revival style building that had been deposited upside down on a brick warehouse. Using standard construction materials, ThemeWorks fabricated the forced perspective grand lobby as a “hanging set,” actually suspending it in the air. Theming the brick warehouse to appear as if it had “received” the grand lobby, ThemeWorks fabricated and themed distressed faux I-beams and trusses as bent and twisted warehouse roof supports. The flooring is a custom tile and the walls are a faux brick veneer, all scenically treated to give the warehouse a weathered appearance.
