A conversion of former disused public conveniences into a new café in a prominent position on Sutton Green. Large glazed doors on the north elevation allow the café to open fully onto a new outdoor terrace and seating area overlooking the adjacent children’s play park.
The building’s inherent charm is reinvigorated through small interventions: brightly coloured new timber windows and planters, and subtle changes to the fenestration. The interior references the building’s former use with glazed ceramic tiling to the walls. Harp & Harp’s proposal seeks to breathe fresh life into a forgotten but much-loved feature of the local area.
