Templehall Community Hub
Kirkcaldy, UK
Project overview
Bringing together community service all under one roof
The new Templehall Community Hub will be a landmark building for the local community. Replacing the existing community centre, it will become a hive of activity that allows key services to collaborate and deliver support all in one space.
Sitting alongside the AHR-designed Fair Isle Family Nurture Centre, the new hub will create a shared community campus for people from all generations and backgrounds.
The hub will feature a main hall capable of hosting large-scale events, library, training kitchen and a cafe connected to a community garden, allotments and multi-use games area.
Encouraging community engagement and improving health outcomes, the hub will offer a range of family, community and youth activities supporting people to be independent, resilient and in control.
Supporting our client, Fife Council’s, wider sustainability objectives, the hub is designed to target Passivhaus Classic certification. Providing high levels of energy efficiency through a fabric first approach and comfortable internal spaces through natural light and ventilation.
Taking inspiration from the history of Templehall and the surrounding coastal town of Kirkcaldy, our design, site layout and material choices ensure the new hub will be readily identifiable in the community with a clear and distinctive character.
