Refurbishment and extension of a Grade II listed Victorian building
Haines Phillips Architects were appointed as Design Manager by the Principal Contractor Quinn London Limited to oversee the co-ordination of the different elements of the design.
The scheme is a refurbishment and extension of a grade II listed Victorian building in High Wycombe to create space for a mix of new commercial uses with a total area of 1,260m2 arranged over ground and mezzanine levels.
The existing building has been largely retained and sensitively refurbished while the extension is built with a Glulam frame and CLT (cross-laminated timber) wall panels with zinc wall- and roof-cladding. Polyester powder-coated aluminium glazing and curtain-walling elements are used throughout as a unifying element for the two parts – old and new – that make up the extended building.
