Our submission proposed minimum alterations to the existing building fabric, carefully unlocking the circulation route and reorganising the distribution of spaces to function as holiday accommodation. The spaces are inward looking, utilising vast existing double height voids with light taken from the unblocked openings. The new insertion of contemporary materials such as calcium silicate blocks and golden foil insulations contrasts and complements with the retained ‘as-found’ layers of historic building fabric. Lightweight interventions ensure the reversible nature of the proposal as a heritage asset.
