Curtain up on AHMM’s revamp
AHMM has been selected as the winner of a design competition to refurbish Liverpool’s Royal Court Theatre
Its £10 million proposal for the 71-year-old building was selected over shortlisted entries from Burrell Foley Fischer, Nord, Pentagram, Studio Andrew Todd and Studio Three Architects.
The winning design involves an enlarged entrance space for the theatre, which was used as a rock music venue for 20 years, with a digital glazed screen and rooftop restaurant and bar. It will also see the reorganisation of the middle floors to create more comfortable bar and casual spaces for use between performances.
“The main idea was to take the best of the old building, which is a beautiful old theatre, and add contemporary elements to it so that the new complements the old,” said Paul Monaghan, director at AHMM, who spent his childhood in Liverpool.
