The Boilerhouse project has created a new café pavilion and event space in the courtyard of an existing heritage building, and refurbished an original stable block wing into a new seating and servery area. The Boilerhouse’s original structures include two tall brick chimneys which, with specialist lighting, afford the new building a sense of drama and tie the building to its context. The complex has been completed with courtyard and landscaping upgrades creating improved external spaces and enhancing the setting of the buildings. Falling within the curtilage of the Grade I Listed Founders Building, this subtle intervention involved detailed consultation with Historic England to ensure existing historic materials were protected and enhanced through a complementary palette of new materials and architectural form.
