Planning granted for ‘deep reuse’ of Vestry House Museum, with Studio Weave

We’re delighted to be part of the design team for Vestry House Museum, led by Studio Weave. The architecturally ambitious proposals are guided by a sustainable approach and care for the historic building, which aims to make as few changes as possible to allow the museum to flourish.

Appointed by Waltham Forest Council, the team has received planning approval for the proposed £4.5 million revitalisation of Vestry House Museum, having worked closely with the Council’s Culture team, local residents and community groups to develop the proposal which will transform the museum. Studio Weave has led a team including Webb Yates (Civil Engineering), Verity-Jane Keefe (Artist/Engagement), Gort Scott’s Sela-Jaymes Taylor (Conservation Architect) and Tom Massey (Horticulture).

The proposal adds new spaces including new creative workspaces and a café as well as caring for and adapting the historic buildings and gardens — increasing the museum’s capacity, expanding the displays and improving access. Read more in the Architects’ Journal.
