Timber-clad performing arts centre and administration building in the heart of North London
The 3,700m2 complex in Tottenham, North London, is envisioned as a series of pavilions which complement existing Grade II-buildings on the site. The solution was to retain the integrity of the historical site.
The Centre consists of a 300-person theatre, classrooms, dance and sound studios, performance space foyer, café and bar, enterprise units for local businesses and a new public plaza, which connects the centre with a local college.
The Centre was named after the late MP and civil rights leader Bernie Grant whose representation of Tottenham in Parliament spanned three decades.
