The Practice was appointed to extend and redevelop the school’s existing staff room facilities, to cater for the growing staff numbers, which could then also provide flexibility in use, encourage greater social interaction and act as a new ‘heart’ for the school as a whole.

The scheme utilises an existing external courtyard space to provide new kitchen and dining facilities. This area is visually enhanced with a sloping feature wall and ceiling plane which peels away from the surrounding flat roof area to harness the benefits of north facing natural daylight and assisted natural ventilation.
