National Cricket Academy, Loughborough
University £ 3.9m. Completed 2003 by David Morley Architects
RIBA East
Midlands Award 2004.
This award winning building
is the largest bespoke cricket training centre in the world. At
one end of the hall is a three storey pavilion with balconies,
galleries and terraces having views to both indoor and outdoor
cricket. The design facilitates special requirements for disabled
sports persons with state-of-the-art coaching, training and re-habilitation
equipment. Timothy Crum was the Project Architect with special
responsibilities managing and co-ordinating the information from
the other consultants and specialist subcontractors, including
the bespoke Hawk-Eye camera training system. The project was successfully
delivered on budget and on programme for the opening by HRH the
Queen and the building was awarded the RIBA East Midlands Award
2004.
Regents Park Multi Sports Hub £ 3.0m Completed 2005 by David Morley Architects
Opened by HRH Prince Charles
This new multi-sport hub is
located at the centre of gravity of the sports facilities in Regents
Park. A circular cluster of changing rooms is partly set into the
ground and surrounded by a gentle grass slope. On top of this "mound" a
transparent circular community and club room exploits the 360° panoramic
views across the surrounding sports pitches and the whole composition
reinforces John Nash's tradition of buildings as "ornaments" in
the park. The design incorporates disabled facilities for both
staff and visitors and flexible changing rooms that economically
double up as classrooms and lecture theatres. Timothy Crum worked
on the project Masterplan and Interior Architectural elements and
helped to deliver the project successfully with an accelerated
programme for the official opening by HRH Prince Charles and C
Parker-Bowles.
St James Centre
at St. James Church, S. Bucks £2.9m Completed 2006 by David Morley Architects
Design Architect. Workstages A-D, K-L.
This cultural building incorporates
a multi-use and flexible performance space that seats up to 500
people and provides catering facilities, a crèche, meeting
rooms and office facilities over two floors. The building incorporates
ground breaking environmental design and uses a thermal mass rock
store labyrinth below the main space to provide naturally cooled
air into the main auditorium space.
Barbican Centre Refurbishment £ 0.4m. Completed 2004 by David Morley Architects
Project Architect. RIBA Workstages A-L
This renovation of the listed
Balcony Restaurant at the Barbican Centre required careful adaptation
of the existing building to co-ordinate both the major overhaul
of services to the entire catering portion of the building as well
as the smaller sensitive refurbishment of the restaurant itself.
The design was developed using the latest requirements for providing
disabled access to the balconies to introduce elevated and protected
dining spaces. Listed features needed to be carefully retained
and offset by the insertion of bespoke natural oak, leather and
glass fittings that were elegantly offset by the integrated lighting.
Cricket Pavillion, Sutton £0.4m Completed 2004 by David Morley Architects
Project Architect. Workstages C-L
This new-build Special Needs
Cricket Pavilion was delivered under an accelerated time schedule
to meet the client's timeframe and in order to be shown on Granada
Televisions "With a little help from my friends" show
featuring Phil Tuffnel. Planning Permission and Building Control
were granted within only four weeks of appointment! The building
caters especially for children with learning and physical difficulties
and is the only social club building in South London with such
full wheelchair accessibility to all areas for changing, served
and serving. The careful planning of the facility also enabled
a greater level of accessibility than required by current regulations
whilst enabling costs savings for the client.
Office Refurbishment, Camden £ 0.3m Completed 2006 by David Morley Architects
Project Architect. Workstages A-K
This refurbishment for award
winning Services Engineers, Max Fordham LLP, involved breaking
new ground in integrated Environmental Design within an existing
building. This listed Victorian 22m diameter old piano factory
building required careful space planning to marry the competing
requirements of a modern office with a sensitive refurbishment
whilst retaining a non-hierarchical and transparent internal arrangement.
The resultant design uses environmentally sustainable products
to create a refurbishment system that can also be re-used within
standard rectangular office buildings. Artificial lighting, acoustic
treatment, and daylighting are combined into an integrated fitout
system.
