The community farm is a much loved Bristol institution that has been so successful over recent years that the trustees decided it was time to grow. They wanted to provide a larger, more modern, facility that increased the farm’s capacity to educate people about food, farming and the environment and to develop their reputation for good organic food.
Childs Sulzmann reconfigured the existing café area and designed the 150 m2 extension that includes a multi-use function space. The brief specified that the family friendly, simple, farm-related ambiance of the café, with lots of natural light, was to be retained. The result is an open, airy space that flows naturally into farm yard.
Childs Sulzmann’s designs maintain the ethos and context of the farm by making substantial use of natural materials and include a wide range of sustainable features.
