Jerwood Space

Jerwood Space is a non-profit making facility for commercial rehearsals, plays, dance and musicals before they go to their actual venues. A gallery and restaurant also forms part of the facilities.The roof extension at Jerwood Space is designed to appear lighter than the main volume of the existing brick building. The materials are lightweight: corten, stainless steel and timber louvres. The corten cladding is set back from the face of the existing building to avoid rusty deposits staining the brickwork.
The upper storey is a glazed volume that blends in with the sky in the daytime and acts as an illuminated signboard at night. The glossy surface of the frameless glass is designed to contrast with the matt surface of the corten and brick volumes below.
