Home Is Where The Art Is: The Cube, Corby
Project
Corby Cube

“...Corby's Cube is not some flamboyant vanity project. Architecture practice Hawkins\Brown's solution actually combines what was proposed as two buildings (arts centre and civic centre), leaving a second site free for further development and, more to the point, creating a highly efficient space that puts public learning and cultural engagement at the centre of its civic heart.”

“With its recent ranking as one of the UK's most upwardly mobile cities - admittedly from a low starting point following the demise of its steel industry - Corby now has a claim to a bright future and that's been underlined by the completion of the gleaming Corby Cube.”

“People can’t believe how much we fit into it. But I think it’s bigger on the inside in terms of beauty being more than skin deep – it’s got a big heart, and that’s come from the process of design and how we work.”

Corby Cube

“Designed by Hawkins\Brown, the Cube's gleaming bar-coded facade and precise form encapsulated both the aspirations of a town and perhaps the method of regeneration. Housing a theatre, a library, one -stop shop for council services and the council chambers, the Cube is aimed at restoring a sense of civic pride battered by years of unemployment and social problems.”
