Green Design Architects as commissioned by the Lake District National Park to produce a feasibility scheme for the refurbishment of the Old School building in Wasdale Head Cumbria.

GDA is working with a community group, the Diocese, The National Trust and LDNP to produce a design to refurbish the existing building and replace the temporary toilets which have been installed on site.

The expansion of the 3 peaks challenge has had both good and bad affects in this beautiful valley over the past few years. The challenge is good for local businesses but has left the valley with refuse and other human waste products. The temporary toilets has improved the situation greatly but the toilets are unsightly and have a detrimental affect on the gateway to Wasdale that is provided by the Old School.

GDA has had a number of meetings with the groups and hopes to provide an agreed vision for the site in the new year- watch this space.
