about the project

PARKdesigned were appointed by Eric F. Box to create a contemporary extension to their existing bereavement home in Dewsbury. The brief for the project was “to create additional function space and a new entrance that is modern but also sensitive to the existing use”. Our scheme responds elegantly to the complicated nature of the site; a randomly shaped parcel of land, located on a busy main road, with a dominant and rather quirky looking existing building in the background. The extension to the funeral home was a single storey building providing a new feature entrance, function room and store.
