AJ Retrofit Award Win for the National Youth Theatre
The National Youth Theatre was awarded £2,000,000 from the Mayor of London’s Good Growth Fund to undergo a major renovation to its Holloway Road building in North London. We were appointed to undertake this radical development that has enabled The National Youth Theatre to double the number of young people they engage in the building through their annual programme which provides, free and affordable drama opportunities that champion diversity, creativity and routes into the creative industries.
The National Youth Theatre is a vital part of Great Britain’s cultural infrastructure, boasting alumni of the likes of Daniel Craig, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Rosamund Pike, so it is only fitting that that the upgrade is winning awards.
The AJ Retrofit Awards recognise well-designed sustainable projects and promote material and structural reuse in the built environment. We would like to congratulate DSDHA on winning the Best Cultural Building Category of these awards for their incredible design of The National Youth Theatre.
