Arc House & Lowlands Park

The new building gives focus to this previously neglected park, able to host chamber events and performances from within its equipped theatre space, or larger performances on the external stage addressing the landscape amphitheatre. 

The theatre and café connect to the landscape through generous openings onto the space of the park and the new tree-lined ‘boulevard’ for commuters using Harrow on the Hill station. Supergraphics and a decorative cladding of red panels behind Douglas Fir timbers animate the building's simple form, their indented pattern recalling the decorative brickwork of Harrow on the hill’s grand houses.

Eighty new trees were planted, to bring to life this contemporary ‘Metroland’, a respite for the traveller emerging from the tube into a leafy landscape. In time the café will make use of fruit grown on-site.

I am sure this is going to be a fantastic legacy for London

It's a fantastic space for the residents of Harrow to use, and more groups should be encouraged to use the facilities and that fantastic stage
