This private school wished to construct a new junior school adjoining their existing campus. Due to the site constraints this resulted in a design on two floors, with classrooms and corridors wrapping around a central double height hall, which forms a focal point of reference. Separate smaller scale areas were created for the nursery.
This classroom block at Castle School in Taunton was occupied less than 15 months after we were first appointed. Working with The Castle School, Somerset County Council and the contractor Pollards in a true spirit of partnership we were able to agree the brief, design, obtain Planning Approval and construct the building in that time. This has resulted in a Music & IT Department in addition to 9 general classrooms. The building was required to give flexibility in future layout and employ sustainable principles of construction.
Design of a seven classroom unit together with staff and ancillary facilities, procured as part of a design and build package based on a winning design and price.
Building conceived as a flexible plan capable of future planned expansion.
Single classroom extension for Wincanton Primary School designed to match existing in style and materials as far as budget allowed, and to appear as an integral part of the original group of buildings.
Creation of small play area to side of existing infant classroom by raised timber decking constrained by dwarf stone wall and metal railings. Existing windows to classroom adapted to give access and main roof extended to give shelter. All designed to complement materials and style of existing buildings.
