Rothschild Foundation, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England

Rothschild Foundation Development, UK - design: by Stephen Marshall Architects

Rothschild Foundation Design: Stephen Marshall Architects photos © Richard Bryant Rothschild Foundation Waddenden RIBA Award winner, 19 May 2011 In order to accommodate the Rothschild Foundation Archive and the offices of the Rothschild charity, a series of simple rectangular buildings has been built on the site of a former dairy farm. The original farmhouse has been retained and outbuildings incorporated into a new composition of courtyard gardens. photos © Richard Bryant The main archive is housed in a building with great thermal mass and insulation. It is naturally cooled, thus avoiding the normal archive need for air conditioning and forced humidity control. An exquisite oak gridshell roof, consummately detailed and supported on triangular struts, forms the major space. The landscaped courtyards complement the architecture and the decorated, diagonally incised zinc roofs add a richness to the simple architectural forms. photos © Richard Bryant The Rothschild Foundation Aylesbury - Building Information Title: The Rothschild Foundation Location: Windmill Hill, Waddenden Estate, Aylesbury Architect: Stephen Marshall Architects Client: Alice Trust Contractor: Paul Hardy Contract Value: £8m Date of completion: Feb 2011 Gross internal area: 1,610 sqm RIBA Awards AIA UK Excellence in Design Awards : Winner. 20 Apr 2012
