Harlow Town Park

Proposals for sensitive re-working of a degraded central hub of 1960s New Town park as part of a wider landscape led masterplan.

Scheme includes a new build strawbale learning centre with a flexible internal space, black stained timber cladding, natural ventilation and biomass heating. A refurbished bandstand, cafe in the Victorian Spurriers House and new Events Barn added to the highly popular Pets Corner. A new circulation strategy and opening of key vistas helps to re-establish a logical relationship between the various buildings.
