Fairfields Community Meeting Place

Fairfields Community Meeting Place

Milton Keynes

A landmark feature building that provides a sense of place for the local community. A socially inclusive and adaptive building set within a purposeful and meaningful landscape.

The building comprises a community hall, office, meeting room, kitchen, toilet facilities and associated storage. The main spaces are surrounded by a colonnade. This creates a civic presence and provides solar shading to limit summer overheating.

Designed with minimal maintenance and management at the forefront, using primarily long lasting and robust materials. A green roof is proposed over the ancillary space to create visual, biodiversity and drainage attenuation benefits. Low profile solar panels are shown over the main hall space.
