An exciting regeneration opportunity looking to reinvigorate a disconnected town centre area and re-purpose the Grade II listed Watford Town Hall to provide a contemporary workspace for the council alongside space for the arts and other public sector or commercial partners. HLM were commissioned to assist with the Strategic Outline Business case providing initial plans and visualisations which enabled to team to assess viability, economic impact and potential funding routes.
The proposal looked to introduce significant landscape and architectural interventions as well as considering the town hall’s wider role in the overall civic masterplan. This project has the opportunity to catalyse culture on a much wider scale and will be a way of drawing people into the area from key transport hubs, inspiring and growing the next generation of talent and nurturing the creative industry networks in Watford.
