This project completed in 2003 shows the practices design philosophy working to its best . The existing Building was a grade B listed Building which had been considerably altered. We wanted to retain the feeling of strength , tradition and continuity that the original building presented , but provide a modern back drop for city living . This required careful consideration of the context in which the new elements were to be placed in order that the two styles of design worked together.

Our proposal was to remove all the non original additions and strip back the building to its original form. This mainly consisted of double height classrooms with single stories inserted in between to form lavatories, duty rooms and offices . A glass enclosed lift has been installed in the orginal staircase core.

The result is an exciting blend of modern light design juxtaposed with the original strong and richVictorian design.
