A dramatic transformation.

It’s always incredible to see just how much design can change how a space feels, or is perceived. This is the main teaching building at St John’s Leatherhead, a building which prior to our transformation, by the School’s own admission was shielded from prospective parents, despite its size and importance to the curriculum.

Our design created large window openings between the classrooms and corridors, forming a rhythm of original brickwork and canvases of colourful art, punctuated by large internal windows to add natural light.  The increased transparency between teaching spaces and corridors, coupled with high-quality finishes transformed this building into a 21st century educational environment which was well received by students and staff alike. The spaces are durable and have thrived in rigorous day-to-day use.

This project remains one of the projects of which we are most proud, due to the impact which it had on the students and the fundamental way in which it changed how the School viewed their campus.
