The project is a simple yet elegant design for expanding the already popular Crimple Hall Garden Centre to create a new food hall. Engagement with the local community has resulted in a sympathetic but undoubtedly contemporary design that sets a new standard for buildings of this type. The site’s context, sustainability, and user experience were all carefully considered in its conception.
The architects have created a series of large, open plan spaces covered by sawtooth roofs, referencing local agricultural buildings of the Crimple Valley, on the edge of Harrogate. The building is split into three elements: a large farmers’ market area showcasing local produce, an adjacent restaurant, and a large service area. These different functions and the existing garden centre are expressed as a series of staggered blocks united by the roof form and the use of light-coloured vertical timber cladding, creating a new cohesive identity for Crimple Hall.
