• The Gorebridge Beacon

Creation of a modern community hub in Gorebridge, featuring offices, meeting rooms, events spaces, nursery, and a café. Moveable walls ensure that this space is flexible to the needs of the community it serves. The project overcame hurdles such as lack of funding and arson in order to open to the public in 2018. The project showcases green credentials such as glazed panels for optimum natural light and photovoltaic panels on the roof to provide electricity.

“There are many good things we could say about Morham & Brotchie but for us at Lee Boyd, the most significant is that they are actually interested in the projects we work on together, the design as it evolves and their positive role and contribution to the strength of the design team. This quality rubs off on the cost advice provided, which is typically in depth and considerate to the priorities of the client, often committed when there is little formal design information available.”
