RHWL Architects to return listed 1930 Shanghai China Grand Theatre to its former glory

Archtiect RHWL's plans for Shanghai China Grand Theatre

RHWL Architects has been appointed to design the refurbishment of a listed theatre in Shanghai, China.

The project for the Ever Shining Cultural Group aims to return the 1930 Shanghai China Grand Theatre, which is grade-III listed, to its former glory.

The theatre is understood to have been originally designed by British architect F E Milne. The refurbishment, which will cost up to £23m, includes restoring the 1,200-seat auditorium; extending the stage and restoring the facade’s balcony windows and cornices. Work is due to start on site on 1 July 2013 and be completed by December 2014.
