Harrow Art Centre
2020~2023
The Greenhill Building, Harrow Arts Centre
CLT community building · 460 m² · London Borough of Harrow
Attribution — Chris Dyson Architects for Harrow Borough Council. Sangmin Cha acted as project leader through RIBA Stages 3–5 while at the practice.
Challenge — A local authority client needed a flexible teaching and events building on a constrained arts-centre campus, delivered to a public-sector budget.
Approach — Full cross-laminated timber was proposed in place of structural steel. The lightweight, off-site fabricated system removed the need for expensive foundations. Project leadership covered the planning submission, the tender package, and construction administration through to handover.
Outcome — Main build completed in under nine months. The scheme went on to receive a RIBA London Award in 2025, cited for its low-carbon CLT structure and community value.
