Strawberry Vale Community Centre

Community, New Build

Signature building at the entrance to Strawberry Vale Estate

This Community Centre for the Peabody Trust was designed in conjunction with HTA Architects to create a signature building at the entrance to Strawberry Vale Estate in Barnet housing a community hall, community rooms and offices.

The design challenge was to produce a robust building which also acted as a gateway to the Estate.  This was achieved by creating a hall with a steel framed structure with a curved roof floating on frameless glazing over the cornice of the masonry shell below – well out of harm’s way!
