Information about this winner

A new building in an Edward Milner designed park, this scheme provides a café, toilet facilities, rangers’ base, performance space, and multi function area which can be used as a classroom. The scheme is an integral part of the refurbishment of the park . The use of timber detailing reinforces the building as a gentle addition to the park, and the quality of the internal spaces is high, with light and spacious spaces. The pack of cards roof forms an attractive canopy and the lovely scheme is in a beautiful setting. This is a popular and well used civic piece of architecture that responds well to its setting and provides an important facility for local residents and visitors to Preston.
