Garden Museum

The project, a single storey pavilion extension at the Garden Museum, located just south of Lambeth Bridge, sharing party walls with Lambeth Palace, is an architecturally distinctive Grade II listed building comprising bronze cladding tiles, large expanses of glazing, polished concrete floors, and topped with green roofs. The pavilion houses environmentally low-impact education facilities, gallery space and café. In the central courtyard and around the extension are new high-quality gardens. Careful restoration and preservation of Grade II listed tombs and architectural features ensuring compliance with conservation standards while respecting the site’s historical significance, including sensitive handling and documentation of the burials within the grounds.

The works within the Listed church included the non-evasive internal extension of the cross laminated timber structure (part of an earlier phase for which we also provided Quantity Surveying services) to provide more exhibition space and also a quality space within the nave for wedding receptions and other private events that became a successful source of additional revenue for the museum.

The medieval tower is the oldest structure in Lambeth and as part of the scheme was developed as a viewing platform offering 360o panoramic views of London accessible from the original spiral staircase in the tower.
