Proposed three classrooms to an existing school to enable another form entry. The design included cross ventilation via the low and high line windows. The proposed site faced the existing playing fields and toilet provisions to enable the building to be used as a pavilion during the weekend. The ceilings following the roof line helped give the classrooms volume and better light with sound absorbing panels to reduce any sound reverberation.

The classrooms opened onto the playground with a large canopy to help access to make the building easier to manage and more adaptive for outdoor play. The building was designed on a grid for it to be prices at tender for a traditional construction and modular.

The building was a two storey extension to eastern side of existing single storey school building to provide 8 classrooms including two nursery classes; ancillary staff facilities, reception and offices and re-arranged school play areas. Relocation of main pedestrian and vehicular with a new re-located parking area 20 spaces.

After having the winning design from the option appraisals I helped take the design to construction. The design was inspired by an art deco star burst due to the existing design and the site restriction it helped give duel aspect of sunlight to each classroom. The design included SEN classrooms and facilities including soft playroom with LED lighting.
