Garsington Opera Pavilion : High Wycombe Building

Wormsley Estate Building, south east England, UK - design by Snell Associates

30 Jun 2012 Garsington Opera Pavilion, High Wycombe Design: Snell Associates RIBA Awards 2012 Citation: Garsington Opera Pavilion photos : Dennis Gilbert In the great English tradition of distrust of the new followed by rapid assimilation into permanency and subsequent listing, Garsington’s design concept is driven by the need for it to be a completely demountable ‘temporary’ structure. Although it is supposed to be taken down every autumn, the landowner likes it so much he already suggested leaving it in place after the first season. photo : Mike Hoban Nonetheless, it is entirely designed out of transportable elements which require one cherry picker to lift into place in a short space of time. 5-part galvanised steel truss components bolt together to form the 20 metre clear roof spans over the auditorium. photo : Marcus Dawes Transparent sail fabric and timber panels form the enclosure. The ‘foyer’ is open to the adjoining lake with timber and steel scaffolding stairs leading to the upper parts of the 600 seat auditorium. photo : Richard Davies Garsington Opera Pavilion High Wycombe - RIBA Awards winner, 2012 Garsington Opera Pavilion - Building Information Location: Wormsley Estate, Stokenchurch Architect: Robin Snell Associates Client: Garsington Opera Structural Engineer: Momentum Services Engineer: Buro Happold Acoustics: Sound Space Design Theatre Consultant: Iain Mackintosh Contractor: Unusual Rigging Contract Value: £1.8 million Date of completion: May 2011 Gross internal area: 20,655 sqm Garsington Opera Pavilion High Wycombe images / information from RIBA Snell Associates
