De Matos Ryan’s design for guest accommodation saves Yorkshire pub
Architectural practice De Matos Ryan has “renovated and transformed the sustainability” of The Alice Hawthorn – a Grade II listed pub in the historic village of Nun Monkton, North Yorkshire – with the addition of 12 guest bedrooms. Situated at the confl uence of the Rivers Ouse and Nidd, the village of Nun Monkton has seen the closure of four of its pubs. Named after a famous 19th Century racehorse, The Alice Hawthorn is the village’s last remaining public house. In recent years, this critical meeting point and social hub for the local community was in economic decline and had come under threat.
De Matos Ryan director Angus Morrogh-
Ryan comments: “Creating an innovative new economy around assets such as the village pub is essential to the health and well-being of any rural community. To become solvent long term, it needed to increase its appeal to a broader audience.” “Close, collaborative consultations” with Harrogate Borough Council and the local community informed the project’s design, said the architects. “The redevelopment has created new revenue streams for the restaurant and bar, improved visitor footfall and ‘dwell time’ and, most critically, increased propensity to spend within the local economy.” The design refl ects the character of the various informal farmsteads that surround the green. The home-grown Douglas fi r
framed buildings use “authentic agricultural building materials,” said the practice, such as galvanised corrugated steel roofi ng, and larch cladding. A “simple and honest construction typology” ensures that the project “looks like the way it was built.” The new timber framed buildings include the Sheds, Field Barn, Stables and Tack Room. Double member ‘cloister’ columns engage stainless steel feet sitting on cast concrete upstands. Sustainability is “at the heart of the
project’s design,” said the architects. A ground source heat pump provides heating and hot water, supplied by bore holes and supported with high levels of mineral wool insulation, and airtightness to a standard
“higher than current Part L2A Building Regulations.” The timber frame buildings are naturally ventilated through use of high-level clerestory windows and roofl ights on actuators. Solar gain is reduced by roof overhangs, which offer shading. LED and low energy lighting, as well as low volume water appliances, have been fi tted throughout.
The sustainable drainage system includes permeable paving and surface water attenuation tanks concealed below the pub garden. A 1-hour fi re resisting timber frame wall within a metre of the site boundaries was developed by employing a fi re resisting sheathing internally, avoiding carbon heavy blockwork.
