Hocking & Newton (Architects) Ltd was formed in 1991 by Roger Hocking Dip Arch RIBA and Paul Newton RIBA. The practice is best known for The Hall for Cornwall in Truro and The Cornwall Centre in Redruth. Both projects comprised new construction behind the facades of neglected Listed Buildings. In the case of the Cornwall Centre, a new home was found for the Cornish Studies Library, together with flats for the Devon & Cornwall Housing Association and a small shopping mall known as Market Way. In the case of The Hall for Cornwall, a multi-purpose hall was created with an adjustable height orchestra pit which allows for variable layouts from a flat floor over the entire ground floor, through intimate theatre & to a 1000 seat concert hall. The practice merged with Hooper Dawes Architectural in 2002 to form CAD Architects Ltd.
