Project Summary

Accessibility and flow around the nursery school was a major design driver in the reorganisation of the three connecting, split level blocks of this former primary school. We gutted the central block and extended it by one floor in order to add a new stair and lift. Outdoor learning is essential to child development, so in space-restricted Central London creativity is paramount. This rooftop terrace, designed to look like a building extension, creates free space for children to play on tricky sites, whilst maintaining privacy, safety, and noise-screening.
