The Temple at Secret Garden Party grew out of a different approach to UK festivals; a more holistic approach to the idea of how people interact and create conversations. Within the beautiful setting of the site centred within a new lake Andrew built a two storey simple cantilevered construction with shards of reclaimed timber bursting through the floors connecting all three spaces. Running through the centre of the space from top to bottom is a void that decreases in size within which a bespoke chandelier hangs with hooks for 100 paraffin lanterns.
