, has been redesigned to bring contemporary elements to the historical buildings, proposing an exciting and informative experience for visitors of all ages.
But Wright & Wright’s reimagining is not just about restoring what’s already there. The new design creates 80 per cent more exhibition space and 50 per cent more public areas. A brand new entrance, opposite Hoxton rail station, and two garden are part of its much needed transformation. There is extended gallery space across three levels and a new Collections Library and Study Room. ‘In our scheme the consolidation of the historic building fabric and addition of distinguishably contemporary new elements has proved crucial to unlocking the project,’ explain the architects.
Wright & Wright’s architectural intervention ‘reflects a reframed curatorial approach’, say the institution’s representatives. Their goal is for the Museum of the Home to appeal to a wider audience and offer morein the domestic issues they address through their overall programme. Creating more immersive, accessible shows is at the core of the museum’s new strategy. ‘As history persuasively shows, the idea of home is ever‐changing, and so are we,’ conclude the architects.
The Museum of the Home is dedicated to exploring the meaning of home and the domestic through permanent collections, exhibitions, performances, discussions, and events. §Photography: Hélène Binet
