Sitting within the Grade I-listed Dorfold Hall estate in Cheshire, L' Écurie at Dorfold Hall resurrects a long-lost stable building that once stood on the derelict stable yard. Following historic research by architect Zoë Polya-Vitry, the new building reflects the scale of the original structure, now offering a venue space with flexibility for a wide range of events.
Derived from the silhouetted plan of the former stable buildings and the gabled section of the Hall itself, the new building has been conceived as a series of sculptural pitched roofs.
Consideration has been given to the building’s appearance from various long views across the wider site and the jury found that new and exciting parts of the design were revealed as they walked around the grounds of the estate. The venue looks inwards on itself, forming a secluded courtyard which feels private and sheltered for visitors.Â
