Information about this winner

This newly completed scheme provides a civic facility and contains police station, library, cafe and council accommodation. The main bulk of the building is set back from the street to create a generous public space around an existing mature oak tree. The clever geometry allows natural light into the building providing a welcoming and attractive working environment. The double height entrance hall engages with visitors, affording a long view of the council offices beyond, together with routes through to the library, café, toilets and interview rooms. The building defines the space and adds to the original context and the street. It is a very strong example of positive contribution to the civic realm, providing an identity to the council and a strong focal point for the community.
