The 80,000 sqft West Hall comprised a double-height single storey building with no separate entrance. The refurbishment works enhance West Hall by providing 2 additional storeys with its own entrance, giving it its own identity and allowing it to function as a separate building.
The retention of the historical exterior wall maintains a strong connection with the past, whilst a new, modern aesthetic is created in the form of an elegant two storey building which rises up from behind this retained facade. A new lightweight roof of steel and glass offers a clear line of sight through to the adjacent historical halls,contextualizing the space, giving a sense of the wider complex of buildings.
The West Hall was successfully completed in late 2011 and has been well received by Hammersmith and Fulham Council, Conservation Area and Historical Groups and by the Client, CapCo and EC&O.
