GSSArchitecture were appointed by Northampton Borough Council as Architects, Lead Consultants and Principal Designers to lead a significant expansion and extension to Northampton Museum and Art Gallery. The museum was extended into the adjacent Guildhall Road Block, a building designed by GSSArchitecture’s Founder, John Alfred Gotch in 1937. A courtyard extension, designed using glass and sandstone, has integrated the former museum buildings, the Gaol Block and Guildhall Road Block as well as providing additional gallery space, a café and roof terrace. The project has transformed the role of the museum in the area by providing an enriched and improved experience and contributes to the regeneration of Northampton Town Centre, enhancing the entertainment, learning and leisure aspects of the community.
