Strawberry Hill Hall is a 200 sqm community building located in the scenic Strawberry Hill neighbourhood in Surrey. The original hall on this site was built around 1910 and served as a meeting place for the local agricultural society until it burned down in 2017. The new building design preserves the original form, character and materiality of the original structure while providing improved accessibility, daylighting and building comfort. A single main hall comprises most of the building footprint and is designed to support a wide range of community uses including childcare programs, community events and meetings for Surrey's heritage society. The hall is designed to feel grand while still being comfortable for smaller daytime program uses. This is done by grounding the large room through material contrast: the light wood feature ceiling is offset by the dark wood-look floor and the overall height of the room is visually reduced by the dark coloured wainscotting that wraps the hall.
