General Information

Honorable mention to Ed Frith, director of Moving Architecture for his invaluable assistance, generosity of time and poetic advice during the design process.

The exemplary method of reviving redundant park building, of which there are many hundreds in the UK, was delivered with and by local young people and build to excellent standards and highly original designed by Curro when he was still a student.

The building triangulates and compliments the modernist architecture of the neighbouring Grade 1 Lubetkin Health Centre and the Grade 2 Italian Basilica style Church. The shape and use of the poetic qualities of a copper spire is an ecclesiastical reference.
