This impressive building is known as the David Josefowitz Recital Hall, and is situated within the courtyard between Marylebone Road and York Gate, London

Decomo designed, manufactured and installed semi-circular barrel-vaulted roof units, with a White concrete grit-blasted finish. The roof was fabricated as 12 quarter-circle segments with a radius of 4m. Each precast element measured 3m wide and weighed approximately 11 tonnes.

Erection works were completed over a single weekend and, as direct access to the courtyard wasn’t possible; all precast units were craned into position over the existing York Gate buildings.
