The Design
The replacement building for the Scout headquarters draws on the iconic ridge tent as a concept for the architectural form, symobilising shelter, adventure, and exploration. The new building provides a flexible new hall, kitchen, and meeting spaces, providing the Scouts and the broader community with a modern, adaptable venue to host a wide range of events and activities.
Brick gables with areas of projecting feature brickwork complete the elevation. The plan is split along a central corridor with hall spaces to one side and two floors of support spaces to the other, creating a strong approach and clear wayfinding for its users.
