Feilden Fowles land Yorkshire Sculpture Park project
Feilden Fowles has won planning and more funding for a new visitor centre at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
The £3.8 million project will be built out of stabilised rammed earth on the side of a hill at the 200ha estate near Wakefield. It has been designed to have minimal impact on the landscape.
Fowles hopes to complete the project in late 2017.
It will contain a 140sq m restaurant, 125sq m gallery space for temporary exhibitions, 50sq m shop and 80sq m foyer.
The scheme completes a series of developments at the sculpture park including Bauman Lyons’ Longside Gallery in 2001, the main visitor centre in 2002 and the Underground Gallery in 2005 – both designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios – and the conversion of a kennel block into the Rushbond Learning Centre and café by DLA Design in 2011.
