Spring in Dartmouth Park

4 04 2011

Dartmouth Park Community Pavilion is pushing its way out of the ground. This public building will provide a much-needed base for visitors to Dartmouth Park in West Bromwich. Project Architect Gavin Orton captured this photograph during a site visit last week showing the steel frame which forms the core of the building.

Designing a new building in a relatively isolated area right in the middle of a public park is a potential challenge. Particulary as the last building was burnt down. The client brief was to produce a design with a hard exterior and soft inside. The end result is way beyond our expectations, being 4 buildings clad in a steel structure and wrapped with Oak timbers. Its got all the basics of a park pavilion with a twist being a fun play area, fantasic viewing gallery tree house style,offices, cafe, toilets, and conference room. This is no typical park pavilion it’s much more, and BPN rightly deserve the praise being voiced.
