Waltham Forest Town Hall shortlisted for AJ Retrofit Awards

We are delighted that Waltham Forest Town Hall transformation project has been shortlisted for the AJ Retrofit Awards in the category Listed Building £5M and over.

As part of our appointment as the civic building architects for the Town Hall Campus Masterplan, Gort Scott redesigned the Council workspace up to RIBA Stage 2 to holistically rethink the existing Town Hall and its relationship to a new Civic Building within the process of transformation of ways of working and delivering council services from a consolidated Town Hall Campus. We defined the brief, outline design, strategies and funding required for the redevelopment of their Grade 2 listed Town Hall, to suit the Council’s changing needs and objectives, including accommodating flexible working patterns.

Hawkins\Brown was appointed to develop the design in the later stages and deliver the project, further to their earlier successful refurbishment of Hackney Town Hall.

The AJ Retrofit Awards celebrate the design expertise behind the vital renewal and repurposing of existing buildings, slashing the industry’s carbon footprint in the process.
The winners will be announced in February 2022.
