This project involved remodelling the old headquarters of the Essex
Wildlife Trust at Fingringhoe Wick, overlooking the Colne Estuary near
Colchester.
The shop area was doubled in size and the office space rationalised.
Improvements were made to the entrance/ reception area. Additional
toilets and a field studies room were created within the building.
A spiral staircase, providing access to an observation tower, was
refurbished and opened up in the centre of the building to create an
exciting feature within the centre, using a full height glazed screen and
improved lighting. The observation room overlooks
tidal salt marshes and the disused quarry.
