Stripey Buildings




Draft 3D Visuals

These are our fist visuals exploring what the school may look like. It is still a work in progress but you can see how we are playing with the form of classrooms, the central block and how we are trying to create covered areas. We are also trying to introduce as much colour as possible to provide a stimulating learning environment.

Design Development - Moving the Hall

After a further design review we have decided to move the main halls from the end of the school into the centre. The reasons for moving the halls are as follows-
  • Enlarges the central courtyard and allows more room around the willow tree
  • Creates a large shared space at the heart of the school
  • Allows the halls to open into each other creating a single large hall for special occasion

The new site concept and site zoning.

Key
Yellow - Teaching
Red - Hall
Purple - Shared teaching and admin
Blue - Playground
Light green - Sport pitches
Dark Green - Soft landscaped areas
Orange - Public square
Grey - Car park
