Robin Hood Crematorium, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council
Treske worked closely with the Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council to create a scheme for their newly refurbished Robin Hood crematorium chapel in Shirley. The crematorium was first opened in 1958 and in 2017 was refurbished to seat 80 people.
Treske designed bespoke, solid oak benches to link together in continuous rows to maximize the seating capacity in the available space. The advantage of using smaller bench units is they can be moved and reconfigured as required to cater for different seating layouts. Individual benches can also be removed to assist with access for wheelchairs or disability scooters.
Treske also supplied and installed bespoke curtains tracks, heavy duty motors and curtain controls together with fully lined committal curtains in a light contemporary colour to compliment the rest of the chapel scheme.
