Washburn Heritage Centre

  • 24 Nov 2017

Location: Fewston, North Yorkshire
Client: Bookvine Ltd & Washburn Heritage Group
Architect: Pearce Bottomley Architects
Duration: 30 Weeks
After six years in the planning, preparation and fund raising, the development of a local community centre for the village of Fewston was finally completed.
This project required a very delicate approach due to the historical nature of the location. In addition, great reverence had to be shown during the relocation of over 160 grave sites to an alternative location in order to allow the development to take place.
Perfectly combining a mixture of traditional and modern construction methods, the centre proved an extreme challenge due to the harsh climatic environment of the area during the coldest winter on record. The end results, however, show a building worthy of its colourful past, sitting in harmony with the idyllic Washburn Valley.

Strid Visitors Centre

  • 24 Nov 2017

Location: Bolton Abbey, Skipton
Client: Chatsworth Settlement Trustees
Architect: Bolton Abbey Estate
Duration: 16 weeks
This specialist project had many unique features and was designed to fit in to it's idyllic woodland setting. The stonework facade to the superstructure is dry-walled with the majority of the stone being individually dressed, to ensure minimal bed and perp joints.
The octagonal lantern feature to the main hall was specifically fabricated off site in our joinery manufacturing workshop, as were many other of the bespoke features, including the oak timber frame, the octagonal douglas fir posts mounted on stylobats supporting the canopy and the shop fittings internally.
Underfloor heating, and sympathetic landscaping finished the building, which when completed was opened by the Duchess of Devonshire. The building has since been 'Highly Commended' by the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
