Design Consultation
All our viewing areas are fully bespoke, designed to meet each client’s unique specifications and enhance the functionality and aesthetic of their facility. We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your exact needs, including size, layout, seating preferences, and any additional features such as weather protection, lighting, or accessibility options. Our team will then create detailed 3D designs, allowing you to visualise the proposed viewing area in its final form. These renderings provide an opportunity for you to review every aspect of the design, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your vision and provides the optimal experience for spectators.

Design Advice
Layout
Consider the Layout: A thoughtful and strategic layout is key to maximising the viewing experience. Ensure that the viewing area is positioned in a way that provides an unobstructed view of the riding arena. Consider factors such as the angle, distance, and elevation to provide the best vantage point for spectators. Additionally, strategically place seating arrangements to accommodate various group sizes and provide comfort for extended periods of viewing.
Comfort
Optimise Comfort: Spectators should feel comfortable and at ease while watching equestrian events. Incorporate comfortable seating options such as padded chairs or bleachers, and provide sufficient legroom and backrests. Design the viewing area in a way that protects spectators from direct sunlight or inclement weather, with the option for shade or shelter when needed. Adequate lighting is also crucial for evening events, ensuring optimal visibility for viewers.
Aesthetics
Enhance Aesthetics: An unforgettable viewing area is visually appealing and complements the beauty of the equestrian arena. Use high-quality materials that are durable and aesthetically pleasing, such as wooden or laminate flooring, to create an inviting atmosphere. Incorporate landscaping elements to add a touch of greenery and natural beauty.
Functionality
Emphasize Functionality: While aesthetics are important, functionality should not be compromised. Ensure that the viewing area is designed to accommodate the unique needs of spectators. Provide ample space for spectators to move around comfortably and access amenities such as restrooms and concession stands. Consider incorporating a dedicated warm-up area adjacent to the viewing area, allowing spectators to witness the preparation and warm-up process of the riders.
Vision
Tailor to Your Vision: Every equestrian facility has its own unique vision and requirements. Work closely with professionals, such as the MBE Group’s equestrian facility designer, who can assist in translating your vision into reality. They can provide guidance on the construction process, offer flexible design capabilities, and ensure that the viewing area aligns with your overall equestrian facility plan.
