Lee Boyd Architects has been involved with the Garrison House project for the last 5 years. The £4.1m Heritage Lottery Fund supported project, involved the complete restoration and rejuvenation of a derelict Grade B listed historic building at the heart of the island community. Almost destroyed by fire in 2001, the project is a combination of conservation and contemporary intervention to provide a mixed use public facility including museum, library, surgery and cafe.
