This exciting new frozen indoor centre will be the only building of its type in Europe and the second in the world.

“Timothy has rigorously challenged the pre-conceptions of the brief to produce an attractive building of 1/3rd the volume of its predecessor… we are delighted with the design and service that FINE architecture is delivering”
