A new, purpose designed sculptured studio.

This new studio was constructed to signify the schools recent award of Specialist Arts Status. The project provided a shop window to the most interesting and creative arts projects whilst rejuvenating the existing school entrance.

The key brief from the client was as follows

• To work extremely closely with the project architect and the school to deliver the building on time and within an agreed budget
• To carry out the work in accordance with CDM regulations
• The copper roof was a “must have” whilst the rest of the contract was constantly being reviewed to keep the scheme within budget
• Complying with the latest Building Regulation requirements

The work consisted of…

• A tradition block work cavity wall construction with the front elevation being slightly curved to follow the line of the existing road
• A single ply membrane roof wrapped with a vertical copper fascia
• Full height powder coated windows to maximise the use of natural light for the students
• Fixed cedar cladding on the side elevations
