A new home for Lutterworth Museum was created in the town centre, making it more visible and accessible to the public.
The opportunity was to create a bespoke building in which to exhibit the town’s historical artefacts alongside space for a café and museum shop.
The L-shaped building has the museum to the left of the main entrance, with half of the space under a vaulted and glazed roof. Exhibits include the famous Frank Whittle jet engine and a Hurricane Merlin engine.
The new Museum’s main entrance was located to face directly towards Market Street to create an inviting focal point and draw people in. The entrance leads to the central foyer.
The southern end of the ground floor is another single storey element which contains the café. The café space also has a vaulted, partially glazed roof to create an open and naturally light environment.
Both the café and the Museum have glazed bi-folding doors that can be opened up to create access to an external seating area.
