Incognito Theatre Foyer/Workshop, UK
Incognito Theatre Group is a vibrant amateur theatre group with its own building in Friern Barnet, London which it has occupied since 1948. It produces some six plays a year of award winning standard. Entirely voluntary funded we have built a new foyer, workshop and control box to replace a set of worn out ad hoc lean-too extensions.
Previously a lemonade factory it is an industrial Victorian building secreted (hence Incognito) to the rear of gardens to terraces of dwellings in Holly Park Road and adjacent to a health centre and school playground.
The new extension is designed to be distinctly different to the existing building and from anything seen in the surrounding area. It is a faceted windowless object with a copper roof and walls making a clear distinction to the existing Auditorium which is thereby enhanced in its original form and character.
The structure is a thin timber frame strutted externally to the workshop and internally in the foyer, plywood sheathed and copper tile clad.
