DETAILS:
This
scheme was commissioned by the local community, who were being
displaced from their existing premises in Sheen Road by a central
area development.
The new site was provided by LB Richmond, having previously
been a temporary car park.
The single-storey synagogue is designed around a simple rectangular
plan with few windows, providing intimacy and a flexible ground
floor layout. Roof lighting illuminates the Prayer and Communal
Halls, and provide shafts of light and air to otherwise unlit
spaces.
The synagogue can be extended into the Communal Hall for High-Holiday
Festival use, and several permutations are made possible by
the varying position of sliding walls.
This building has been commended by the Richmond Society. |
