The Guardian – Oliver Wainwright : “The groundbreaking home-turned-gallery’s £11m extension is both exceptional and modest – perfectly in keeping with the ethos of its visionary creator”.
Wallpaper* – Harriet Thorpe : “With his perceptive approach to heritage and ability to make conservation contemporary, Jamie Fobert is fast emerging as a first choice architect for cultural institutions across the UK”.
The Architects Journal – Jon Astbury : “Carefully conceived to complement and enhance the qualities of the original house, the development includes new exhibition galleries, education spaces, a café and new welcome areas, greatly enhancing Kettle’s Yard’s offering as a centre for contemporary and modern art outside London”.
Frieze – Gillian Darley: “the transformation has been achieved, seemingly, by sleight of hand. Jamie Fobert Architects inserted a set of entirely new buildings which, until you set off for a room in the four-storey education centre or press on past the entrance area towards the pair of full height white-walled exhibition galleries, you scarcely suspect are there at all. The effect is the result of adherence to a palette of materials and forms that spill over and bond the old extension and the new front of house”
