Our work entails the renovation and extension to Westminster Coroner’s Court, a Grade II listed, late Victorian building on Horseferry Road SW1. The courthouse is situated very close to the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and to some of the major civic institutions of the UK. The client is the City of Westminster and Her Majesty’s Coroner for Inner West London. A non-descript 1990s mortuary sits at the rear of the Victorian building. The extension sits to the West, overlooking an open space that is habitually used as a Taxi Rank, but which is transformed into a temporary mortuary in the event of a national disaster. Phase 1 of the works comprised the creation of a Garden of Remembrance, situated to the East of the existing building, which was completed on the first anniversary of the Grenfell fire in 2018. It has been designed for the use of the bereaved families and friends of the deceased whose cases are heard at the Coroner’s Court. The new wing and gardens extend the language of the Victorian Coroner’s courthouse in a series of internal and external stone rooms, providing new office space for the coroner and her staff, as well as improved facilities for the jurors and visitors from the four London boroughs which it serves. The vaulted ceiling of the new courtroom echoes the architectural character of the top-lit glass volume of the original Victorian court. A series of artworks by the renowned stained glass artist Sir Brian Clarke animate the new building via transillumination.
