Dezeen Debate features "gentle piece of restoration"

The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features the renovation of the Grade II-listed The Wool Hall in Somerset, UK. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.

London practice Tuckey Design Studio converted the building into a home and recording studio that celebrates its history as an "outlet for craft and musical production".

Readers commended the renovation, with one calling it a "really fine, gentle piece of restoration, preservation and rehabilitation of the worthy part of the history", and another describing it as a "gorgeous next chapter for this structure".

Other stories in this week's newsletter that sparked debate included a women's centre and mosque in Qatar completed by American studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro, a bell-shaped beer glass designed to produce "the perfect cheers" sound by Nendo and the winner of the medal for best overall contribution to the 2025 London Design Biennale.
