Ashford Gateway
Ashford was the first of two Gateway projects, and a flagship project within Kent that brings together key public functions in one space. This ‘Hub’ building would also offer training and community rooms as well as a cafe and meeting spaces. The library was a key area and needed to provide links to the other spaces.

These projects are wickedly difficult to pull off effectively but this proves it can be done and done very well indeed. The work you have done will always stand as a symbol of your hard work.
