A superb, well resolved project which opens up cellular office spaces whilst retaining the character of the Grade 2 listed building. The urban landscape frontage now embraces the building via a fully pedestrianised, well used civic space with fountain connecting to the existing assembly room building. The interiors now welcome residents into the space rather than push them away with the use of in keeping furnishings including references to William Morris who resided locally. The creation of the second floor atrium creates dramatic flexible work spaces whilst the incorporation of a marriage room and registrar makes for a very popular wedding venue. The judges found this to be a clever, imaginative refurbishment which fully celebrates Philip Hepworth’s original 1930’s design.
Highly Commended
