A unique ‘new meets old’ scheme, Southwark Town Hall encompassed conversion and extension of the historic Southwark Town Hall to create a modern student accommodation facility. The development also featured artists studios for the local community on the ground and lower ground floor levels and an on-site café.
Major internal renovation works took place including removal of the double height council chamber, installation of a new mezzanine floor and the creation of a new staircase. In parallel, a new concrete frame side extension was constructed incorporating the new theatre with 5 floors of accommodation above.
An additional lightweight structure was added to the top and special features included a multi-faceted 3D ceramic tiled façade to the theatre and backlit polycarbonate cladding to the roof pavilion.
