Hoxne Village Hall

This project involved the substantial enlargement of a village hall dating from 1879, to approximately double the floor area; demolishing earlier flat roofed extensions. The exteriors had to replicate the flint, special brick, and stone detailing of the 19th century building and the junction between old and new is barely discernable.  The existing main hall was refurbished, and the new extensions provide the sort of up-to-date facilities now expected in public buildings.  This includes good access for disabled users.  There are now some attractive spaces internally: A welcoming entrance foyer in red brick with Douglas fir joinery; and a light and spacious lounge area. Early design was by Martin York. 

Architectural Details modelled on the original.

The entrance provides disabled access with the main ramping contained within the building, thus forming a generous foyer.
