Offset Architects were delighted to be involved with the refurbishment and extension of Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve’s visitor centre, alongside the demolition of a redundant outbuilding, enhanced parking and access arrangements, new fencing, landscaping, and associated infrastructure works.

The original building no longer met the needs of visitors to this beautiful wildlife reserve, prompting a comprehensive redevelopment to deliver modern facilities including a new reception area, café, retail space, toilets, and a flexible central event space. A key design element introduces full-height doors to the front and rear of the building, creating uninterrupted views through to the lake beyond and forming a generous vaulted event space for Kent Wildlife Trust to utilise.

The scheme also provides additional parking and improved road access, alongside external terraces with customer seating, enhancing the overall visitor experience to this lovely site.
