Shakespeare's New Place / Nash's House

"a major new heritage landmark attraction"

The Project

Spearheaded by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, a new oak and bronze gateway was created that opens on the original threshold of Shakespeare's New Place. This new permanent exhibition brings to life the story of Shakespeare's New Place and the personal life of its most famous occupant, and where he had his family home for 19 years. 


Building Control

The project benefited greatly by having a client who was passionate and enthusiastic about their historic building, and  also, how the building was to be presented to visitors for their enjoyment and education. The building was extended sensitevely paying respect to the host fabric. Nash's House has the majority of its original fabric and features, so to make the building suitable for public access and safety, a challenging fire strategy had to be carried out with descrete intervention and respect for the historic fabric. 

The landscape pays homage to the birthplace of Shakespeare with thought provoking features and related elements.
