A state-of-the-art sports pavilion - Part 3/3
A state-of-the-art sports pavilion designed and built by Builder Directline Structures has been hailed by the President of the Football Foundation as “architecturally the most impressive” that he has ever opened.
Lord Pendry praised the award-winning company’s latest project as he officially launched the pavilion, in Langton Green, Kent, on behalf of the UK’s biggest sports charity, alongside World Cup winning footballer George Cohen.
The pavilion was the concept of Directline Structures’ Managing Director, Duncan Murray, and architect Katy Barker. Duncan and Katy worked in close collaboration with the Langton Green Community Sports Association (LGCSA) throughout the eight-month project to provide a bespoke sports building that not only met their needs but exceeded the Football Foundation’s stringent requirements – all within the £460,000 budget.
LGCSA Chairman Guy Lambert said: “We’re so glad we chose Directline Structures to design and build our new pavilion. From the outset Duncan and Katy were honest, approachable and reliable.
“Katy’s design sits beautifully in its surroundings and we have received numerous comments about how attractive the building is – a modern structure with echoes of tradition. On the inside, it’s simply amazing. The steel structure is such an intelligent solution that maximises the internal space available. It will allow our charity to achieve so much more for our members.
“We hope to use the new building ‘24/7’ and the brilliant flexibility of the internal space will accommodate a limitless number of future uses. The whole project was finished on time and on budget. We couldn’t be happier.”
