ABOUT

Hillcrest Homes and the newly formed Hale Community Trust, a collaboration of local business and community groups, won the tender to develop Hale Library in Summer 2016.

They asked myself and a friend if we could volunteer our expertise and work on behalf of the Trust to ensure the final scheme remained as ambitious and exciting as the Trust dreamed.

The work has involved planning the space from the initial architectural layout, offering solutions to ensure the Centre has methods of being self suffiecient financially, and ensuring all members of the community are represented and provided for adequately, and ensuring the library will function as required by Trafford Council’s guidelines.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Clients who are so passionate about the space we are designing and it has been an honour to contribute to this valuable community service.
