The new multi-purpose meeting room at the Glenthorne Quaker Centre in the Lake District has been completed. The design uses a ‘visual grammar’ of white walls, Lakeland slate roofs and green bargeboards of the main house to create a simple, attractive, structure that fits harmoniously into its rural setting.
For architects Mason Gillibrand it was ‘a perfect opportunity to explore how communal living could be improved in the well loved Quaker guest house.
‘The design allows communal activities, including Meeting for Worship, to occur in a space which embraces the surrounding landscape of the Lake District.’
