EPSOM

the HORTON

Located at the centre what was of a cluster of five Victorian-era psychiatric hospitals in Epsom, now mostly re-developed as housing, the chapel building is also being re-configured and re-purposed for a new life as a community arts centre.  It will respect and display, via a permanent exhibition, the intriguing history of the site including the ground-breaking music-therapy work undertaken in the chapel itself, along with providing an arts / education focus for the locality.  To reflect this change of use a new brand has been created, the Horton, to generate a specific identity for the new role whilst also speaking of its past: carefully crafted by Steve Trimm who is also masterminding the design vision for the exhibition and overall ethos of the arts centre.
