A neighbourhood building bringing a library, workshops and meeting spaces together.
A place for the neighbourhood
Civic House North brings a library, repair workshop, youth rooms and an assembly hall around a covered public passage. The shared route connects the different activities and extends the space of the street.
Entrances on all four sides link the building to the market square. People can see what is happening inside and use the passage without entering the individual rooms.
A concrete frame with reclaimed brick and timber infill gives the building a robust base for daily public use. The different activities share the same construction and a clear arrangement of entrances.
