Located adjacent to the Grade-II listed, Giles Gilbert Scott-designed training college in Denmark Hill, TateHindle’s new Territorial Headquarters for The Salvation Army is an elegant, sustainable home for the charity designed to reflect its values, stand the test of time, and be fit for a modern workforce. The internal material palette is simple, efficient and timeless, based on longevity rather than ornament. Exposed concrete softened with acoustically treated timber helps not only to mitigate noise break-out from the generous open atrium but also creates a tranquil atmosphere. Glass balustrades and terrazzo flooring compliment the light-filled space.
The new headquarters brings a modern way of working to the charity’s circa 450-strong workforce, with flexibility for future change built into the design. Enhancing the space for wellbeing was a central design consideration, a key manifestation of which is the expansive atrium with a connective stair running the full height of the building.
