This 6.5 acre site in Hampshire, contained one of the few remaining large historic timber framed barns in the New Forest.
WDA were appointed to sensitively convert the historic buildings into new a community facility and arts venue.
A new auditorium and all the facilities of a small theatre were inserted into the barn in a way which was non-destructive to the existing fabric so that in theory, all the new additions could be removed leaving the original building intact. Originally the auditorium was used by Totton college for its media, theatre and music courses.
Western Design worked closely with English Heritage (now Historic England), surveying and recording every one of the 650 timbers that made up the barn, each of which had its own report showing how it was to be removed, replaced, repaired or treated during the restoration.
Particular challenges involved making the building soundproof so that noise from performances could not effect neighbouring residential properties.
A historic timber framed cow shed on the site was too close to the barn but was needed as a music rehearsal space. A steel frame was constructed around the cow shed and it was lifted in one piece and moved to a new location on the site.
