The jury feel that the client is to be commended for taking on a building with so many constraints and that the architect has demonstrated skill and sensitivity in pulling together in disparate parts of the brief. The modern interventions are highly successful and the linkages to the historic quayside and walls are a positive bonus.
Description
This project was the largest and most exciting restoration project ever undertaken in Berwick, and had the support of the relevant local authorities and government agencies, as well as of public and amenity organisations locally. Dewar’s Lane Granary is more than just a building – it represents a unique opportunity for preserving and enhancing part of Berwick’s rich heritage while at the same time creating a vibrant and sustainable facility that will add life to a hitherto under-exploited part of the town centre.
