Beaufort Bespoke were awarded the contract to fit out the Underfall Yard Visitor Centre in Bristol Docks in 2015.

The most challenging element of this project was it’s center piece. A 10 meter by 3 meter table with an aerial photograph of 6 square mile of Bristol showing its river system through the docks. Each individual river and basin is separately illuminated when buttons are pressed.

Because the table has a metal leg system, a timber top, all overlaid with glass and was required to be waterproof, strategies to cope with differing coefficients of expansion between materials.
