“…The scheme has greatly improved the public’s enjoyment of the library facility… The opening up of the library green has integrated the library to the adjoining town centre increasing its usage and its value in the community… The development has been extremely successful in retaining the integrity of the original building and respect for the elements that have been identified as contributing to the character of the Conservation Area… “
Ron Grace – Client Representative, London Borough of Enfield on Enfield Town Library.
“… a bold and successful architectural intervention…a real sense of town centre renewal…the new building has turned the library around, both literally and metaphorically…”

"…it is a tribute to the design team that the plans were approved. The design provides a building of real quality and one which complements the original Lasdun architecture. We are delighted with the internal space it provides, which is light and airy and should provide an ideal setting for study and our collections."
Jean Steward – UEA Librarian on the UEA Central Library Extension.
“This prestigious award is testament to Shepheard Epstein Hunter’s meticulous design process and the quality of The Atrium Building as well as the dedication and hard work of the entire team on the ground at ECP. This is a wonderful example of how thoughtful design and a focus on the wellbeing of local residents can produce exceptional buildings, providing high-quality and sustainable homes in the capital.”

Phil Rose – Associate Director, Savills on the Atrium Building.
“…A genuinely sustainable community has been created. The buildings are well designed and built with good space standards. The social facilities and open space, which have funding in place for the long term, and the economic and social benefits will all endure. The stigma once associated with living in Stonebridge will disappear. In our view this is a fine and sustained piece of planning work characterised by sensitivity, public engagement and the quality of the outcome, which far from being a quick fix looks comprehensively at the long-term future of the estate.”
Judging Panel – Royal Town Planning Institution Awards, on the Stonebridge Regeneration.
