practice Feilden Fowles unveils its design for Homerton College Dining Hall, part of the University of Cambridge
The previous dining hall was housed within the college’s existing historical buildings, but was in need of space and modernisation. The back-of-house kitchen spaces were dark and cramped, the various areas felt disconnected and not entirely fit for purpose, and overall, the need for a refresh became increasingly evident.
‘Why did we go with [Feilden Flowes]?’ asks Prof Ward. ‘One part is the building itself. It has a soaring beauty with its butterfly roof. We also very much like the sensitivity they introduced that the building would have with its neighbours. They interpreted this from the get-go. There are echoes of the great hall with the sheer size of it all.’
