Architectural Renderings House-Unique Jellyfish Theatre Build From Pallets


The Jellyfish Theatre opens today with an eco-themed play called Oikos. Its design by Simon Wu. He use reused shipping pallets, recycled nails, old school furniture, and donated wood scraps have been used to construct this organic 120-seat temporary auditorium, which is located a mere 10 minutes’ walk from the Globe Theatre on the banks of the Thames.
While some see the Jellyfish Theatre as “junkitecture” others see the handmade, recycled theatre as a work of art.
The design will be followed by Protozoa by Kay Adshead. Both plays deal with people rebuilding their lives after an environmental and political catastrophe, which goes along nicely with a building constructed out of found materials.


The project is a bit of a warning against uncertain times and even an example of what we might have to resort to for future architecture.
Over 800 shipping pallets and 750 sq meters of plywood and other material were donated to construct the theatre. Old school furniture serves as the seats inside the auditorium, and reused five gallon water jugs are stacked together to form the wall of the lounge.
Pallets, which came from the nearby Covent Gardent market, were stacked and hung vertically, while plywood covers the walls, roof and floors. Although the materials may have started out as junk, when you reuse them, they are no longer junk. But they become useful building materials.
