Historic library reborn as a layered arts hub

UK studio Thing turned a Grade II-listed former library in Redruth into The Ladder, an arts space that keeps the old historic fabric in play while adding timber pieces inspired by theatre sets.

Here’s the main image from the piece, and it’s a pretty clean look at how they handled the old library shell.

Yeah

Same, i love when they keep the old bones and just layer new uses on top. it feels respectful without turning the building into a museum.
