Alexandra Palace

In 2012-2013 Farrells were involved in masterplanning a revival of Alexandra Palace as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund bid. Alexandra Palace is a Victorian Grade II listed entertainment venue which was initially conceived of in 1859 as 'The Palace of the People.'

In 2012 it was reported that over half the building was derelict or out of use. The masterplan had distinctive objectives: to connect the edge of the building with the surrounding parkland, to make the building fully accessible by enhancing connectivity across the building from east to west, and from the south entrance. This involved improved access through Palm Court, West Hall, Great Hall, Ice Skating Rink, BBC Wing and Theatre. Finally, 3 key regeneration projects for distinct segments of the building were identified (a new hotel, upgrading the great hall, and opening up the derelict spaces, such as the theatre and the BBC wing). A public consultation process was included in development of the masterplan to rank the items of revival in terms of importance.

Alexandra Pavilion

Alexandra Pavilion, Alexandra Park, Haringey, London (1980-1981). This project formed the basis for a temporary replacement for Alexandra Palace following a fire in 1980 which destroyed much of the Palace.

Construction was based on the Shelterspan system which was radically adapted. PVC-coated terylene panels are supported on a rigid structure of steel portal frames. The structure was designed to be demountable. Their stable double-curved form prevented wear and tear caused by flapping in the wind. The span of the structure was 118 feet, with external purlins and diagonal rod bracing to provide longitudinal stability. The cascading appearance of the building was derived from the internal organisation, consisting of a large clear-spanned hall and side aisles containing ancillary spaces. Internal climatic conditions are regulated by thermal insulation of the double fabric skin, fan assisted natural ventilation, and gas-powered heating ducted into the space through a functional 'cornice' around the perimeter of the enclosure.
