The 28 boxes arrived fully insulated, decorated and fitted out, ready for stacking. The self-supporting structure needed no other framework and the plug-in-and-go services made for a simple build method and rapid installation.
The 拢2.4m Hall & Woodhouse pub was designed by architect Mackenzie Wheeler. It took 10 months to complete and has a total gross floor area of 2,400 square metres.
