The much-loved Kettle's Yard House and Gallery began life in 1957 as the home of curator and art collector Jim Ede, who opened his home every afternoon for people to see his collection of modern art. In 1966, he gave the House and its contents to the University of Cambridge. The building has since evolved through a series of additions—most notably, in 1970, the gallery extension by architects Sir Leslie Martin and David Owers, a late modern masterpiece. Our major building project involved a series of gentle additions to the original building, to offer new contemporary galleries and greatly improved support services for visitors. Our project continues the meandering journey that begins in the House and moves through the 1970 extension. A new glass entrance area, framed in bronze, was inserted into the entry courtyard, allowing easy movement between the House and the new spaces. Continuity is achieved by sensitivity to the domestic scale and calm aesthetic of the House and by repetition of the brickwork and simple volumes of rough plaster of the existing galleries. Our work has transformed the day-to-day function of Kettle’s Yard. The new galleries, education wing, shop and café are fully accessible. The galleries are light, clear volumes, with climate control and the ability to bear large-scale, heavy sculptures on the robust concrete floor, enabling curators to programme a broad range of contemporary art. The education wing enables Kettle’s Yard to comfortably accommodate an ambitious education programme for the first time. The new shop and café enhance the visitor experience and help to safeguard the future of Kettle’s Yard.
