COURTYARD OFFICE EXPANSION

Bespoke Design Expanding Hungerford Space With Contemporary Glass Bridge Across Courtyard | Contemporary Appearance with Traditional Materials | Historic Location Architecture On Hungerford High Street. Comprising An Open Courtyard With Shops And Off

Where: Hungerford, Berkshire

This High Street site comprised an open courtyard with shops and offices above with a contemporary fully glazed cafe linking the older buildings to a relatively modest two-storey brick built office with car parking beyond.  The occupants of the office were expanding their business and ideally wished to stay in the same location so approached the owner to discuss the provision of additional office accommodation. 

MWA were appointed to carry out a feasibility study to consider a variety of options within the constraints of the courtyard and space available.  The new offices had to have an internal connection with the existing building and this was achieved by constructing a glass bridge at first floor level.  Given the historic location of the courtyard, the new building was designed to have a contemporary appearance with a good deal of glazing contained within an oak frame reflecting the traditional oak frame buildings towards the front of the development.

ADVICE FROM OUR ARCHITECTS | COMMON ARCHITECTURAL QUESTIONS

Do architects save you money?

Hand drawn sketch with marker pens showcasing a town centre
“Any good architect will save you money – not least because a superb design will add value to your home.
Architects use their knowledge to specify products and materials that can save you energy, lower maintenance costs and provide the performance criteria that you require as a homeowner.
Architect’s can provide you with accurate and detailed construction drawings and specifications which enable a building contractor to provide you with a fixed price for your project and avoid additional costs for unforeseen items.
Architects are trained to think outside the box and can provide alternate cost-effective solutions that might actually lower your construction costs.
Architects know what will add value and what won’t”
— Andy Bray, MWA Partner, Architect
