Contemporary and traditional materials and craftsmanship combine to create innovative new addition to historic site

Howells has completed the construction of a new pavilion restaurant adjacent to the National Trust’s 18th-century Hanbury Hall in Worcestershire.

Designed to accommodate the increasing number of visitors to the Grade I-listed William and Mary-style stately home, the restaurant aims to provide more spacious facilities and is fully accessible.

Sandeep Shambi, Partner at Howells, said: “We are very proud of this new restaurant pavilion at Hanbury Hall with its sustainable credentials, contemporary design and its nuances of form and materiality, it carefully bridges the old and the new.

“The design was a result of close dialogue with client National Trust and our heritage partners, and we hope it will enrich the experience of all the Hall’s visitors into a long and successful future.”
