PROJECTS
WEST FRONT WESTMINSTER ABBEY
The restoration of the West
Front has included the filling of twenty, hitherto empty, niches
with new life-sized stone
statues, thereby completing the architectural composition of this
imposing facade. The ten
fifteenth-Century niches above the great West Door now contain
statues of
twentieth-Century Christian Martyrs which represent the Orthodox, Anglican,
Lutheran,
Roman Catholic, Presbyterian and Baptist traditions.
This completes the most
extensive programme of repair works undertaken during the
900 years of The Abbey's existence. For the last ten years these works have been carried out
under the direction of
Donald Buttress, the Surveyor of the Fabric and a partner of Buttress
Fuller Alsop
William, and have achieved national recognition by receiving no less than five
major
awards.
BELLE ISLE, WINDERMERE
Belle Isle is a large Grade 1
listed classical villa of circular plan on an island in Lake
Windermere. Four years ago, a
fire broke out which completely destroyed the domed roof
and the second floor and damaged
much of the remaining fabric. Buttress Fuller Alsop
Williams were commissioned to
supervise the complex reconstruction which
is now nearing completion.
LONGSIGHT SDHQ & CCC, MANCHESTER
Greater Manchester Police
Authority appointed Buttress Fuller Alsop Wiliams to design their
new Sub-Divisional
Headquarters Building on a prominent site two miles south of the city
centre. In addition
to normal facilities for administrative, uniformed and plain-clothed staff,
the new SDHQ
also comprises Major Incident and Identity Parade Suites and an adjoining
Central Custody
Complex of 59 cells, built to replace the existing
post-charge facility in the
centre of
Manchester.
HATTERSLEY PRIMARY CARE CENTRE
Buttress Fuller Alsop Williams
were appointed by Tameside & Glossop Community and
Priority Services NHS Trust to
develop proposals for the extensions and reconfiguration of
an existing health care centre
to provide Primary Care Resource Centre accommodation.
The existing system-building was
extended, re-modelled and refurbished to incorporate a new
pharmacy, provide
additional
administrative and clinical facilities, improve disabled access
and renew heating and
ventilation. The project was completed on time and within budget.
