TOILET FACILITIES + FORECOURT |
2014 - 2015 (STAGE 1 COMPLETE)
Project Team: Philip Stejskal, Yang Yang Lee Photographer: Jack Lovel Builder: RK Brine Master Builder STAGE 1: Toilets A pragmatic project that sees the insertion of new, universally accessible toilet facilities into a disused meeting space. The project addresses compliance issues and improves the commercial viability of the adjacent Hall, which is an important income stream for the parish. The new facilities were designed in response to a tight budget, and the clients’ requirement for a dignified set of spaces. STAGE 2: Forecourt A project that combines universal access requirements with aspirations to improve the general legibility of the entrance. Our approach is a subtle one, avoiding obtrusive handrails by keeping path gradients shallow and offering a meandering path in lieu of a more direct one. The geometry of the insertion acknowledges the existing Art Deco church building by describing a gentle arc around its axis. |
