David Cox, director at David Cox Architects commented: “It was important that the design and the proposed materials felt integral to the existing rural Village context, however we also wanted to create a fun and distinctive destination building to attract visitors.

“Stone and timber cladding will form the primary palette and the mansard roof will use timber shingles and brass coloured zinc for the dormer edges, features and soffits. The main stairs form a tower which is a focal point between the two sides of the building and acts as a beacon across the wider site.”

Paul Harrison, chief executive of Ribby Hall Village stated: “This has taken us over four- years to research, design and obtain planning approval and we can now finally begin to move towards discussing a construction start date.

“This significant new facility will be state of the art, complementing our existing and extensive range of facilities. Our aim is that this facility is an asset to our Village visitors and to the local community for families and small groups of friends.”
