Gayhurst School
Buckinghamshire
2015–2018
The project combined a new 3-court sports hall and the adaptation of their existing multipurpose hall to provide a dedicated space for music and drama performance, enhancing the facilities for both sports and performing arts.
The challenge here has been to integrate the new building into its small-scale surroundings and position adjacent to the green belt. The design, which drops the building into the ground, seeks to reduce the scale and volume of the hall, to maximise views through the building, help connect the junior and senior schools, and improve the setting of the senior school environment.
The scheme was cancelled in 2018.
