Mount Stuart Visitor’s Centre
Architect: Munkenbeck + Marshall Architects
Client: Mount Stuart Trust Ltd
Completed: Jun 2001
Project cost: £1m
The brief for the Mount Stuart Visitor’s Centre project was to create
a modern, original visitor centre building in its own right, distinct
from the existing Mount Stuart House - to excite visitors as well as accommodate
them.
An extremely elegant and essentially simple solution to the requirements
of a visitor centre. The Mount Stuart Visitor’s Centre building and display
are harmoniously integrated. Good landscaping and a good relationship
with existing timber buildings. Beautifully detailed by Munkenbeck + Marshall,
delicately sited and consistently cool.
