National Youth Theatre

Client National Youth Theatre of Great Britain 

Award RIBA London Award 2023

Since 1988, the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain (NYT) has resided continuously in the current building on Holloway Road. A locally listed headquarters that over the years had become increasingly dilapidated and progressively incapable of providing the type of space required by a teaching organisation of such calibre. The project undertaken by DSDHA has rejuvenated the site, creating a functional, collaborative and engaging building that will allow the charity to expand its offering and make it more visible in the community.
