Competition entry for a small Visitor’s Centre in a wetland reserve. The proposed building was intended to be in harmony with its sensitive surroundings, providing both a gateway and educational hub while celebrating the stunning views and outdoor space. The simple plan form provides a flexible space for events, exhibitions and for groups to gather before exploring the surroundings. A small hide provides an introduction to the observation of wildfowl and waders. . .

As a practice we are aware of the need to limit and mitigate the impact of our actions in order to help the fight against climate breakdown. . The re-use and retrofitting of existing buildings is, we believe, one of the most responsible things that we as architects can do to reduce our environmental impact, and is key to our approach. . We give careful consideration to the provenance of products and materials and seek to source those that create the minimum environmental impact in manufacture, lifetime, and future re-use. We also encourage clients to consider reusing or repurposing existing materials, fixtures and fittings. . We recently signed up to the Architects Journal RetroFirst campaign which champions reuse in the built environment. .
