Article source: Hewitt Studios LLP Hewitt Studios have just completed the HCA Hub building which forms a new front-end facility for the Hereford College of Arts. The proposal delivers much-needed cafe, exhibition and admin space in a striking new volume. With a strong sustainability agenda, the structure is formed of glu-laminated and mass-timber and the space is naturally ventilated and day-lit. A reflective pool is used to both animate the space and mediate sunlight.  Exterior view (Images Courtesy Paul Younger)
