Through restoring the brick façade and reinstating original art deco features inside, the building’s architectural heritage has been preserved for future generations. The restoration of the local landmark has opened up a key section of the Broadway, creating a vibrant new centre, employment opportunities and new community spaces for Harringay residents. Once fully complete, the building will be removed from Historic England’s Heritage at Risk list.
The restoration of Hornsey Town Hall is one in a number of our listed building projects currently on site and sits within an expanding portfolio of heritage developments.
About Heyne Tillett Steel
Heyne Tillett Steel is a structural and civil engineering practice with a reputation for delivering intelligent low carbon solutions on complex, urban sites.
Established in 2007 by Founding Directors Andy Heyne, Mark Tillett and Tom Steel, the practice’s work spans all major building types, materials and methods of construction, however what makes Heyne Tillett Steel different is our ability to uncover the full potential of structures and spaces. An enquiring approach to engineering challenges, allows us to always look for innovative solutions that maximise a project’s potential. And because we love what we do, we want to be involved in every phase of a build - from demolition and temporary works through phased construction and detailed fabrication. By being involved from the outset, we can make things happen, carefully sequencing and illustrating each stage of work to create efficiencies in time, cost, programme and carbon.
As engineers, it is our responsibility to reduce the amount of carbon we use in our design – from the materials we specify and construction methods we recommend, to how we design for the future, optioneering to find the most sustainable solution and collaborating to embed sustainability into a project from concept through to completion. For us, it is a mindset, not a tick box exercise.
