Article source: Hewitt Studios LLP Hewitt Studios recently won an invited competition to redesign the Freshford Village Memorial Hall, near Bath. Their vision was to provide a welcoming and attractive multipurpose focus for local community activity, complementing its outstanding rural setting.
The final proposal was developed as a result of an extensive community consultation exercise where locals were invited to contribute their thoughts over the course of three, monthly, workshop sessions. The new Hall provides identifies a complimentary and sustainable set of uses (such as multi-purpose hall, gym, business centre, nursery and kitchen), underwriting a realistic long term business plan. An eco-friendly approach is followed, minimising impact on the immediate and wider environments, through consideration of materials, transport, energy, etc. On completion (anticipated 2015) Freshford Village Memorial Hall will be a special facility born of a special place and should provide an exemplar model for future community hall projects – a uniquely accessible, flexible and (in every sense of the word) sustainable space that makes the most of its wonderful surroundings – offering an exceptional experience to all its users.
