brook green, london w6

with mackenzie wheeler architects

my role at this highly regarded, prep school for girls was to remodel the fabric of the existing school buildings to breathe new life into their specialist teaching spaces.  an innovative approach created space at high level within the school’s dramatic entrance atrium through the introduction of two beautifully crafted, ‘floating’ reading pods - without detracting from the architectural quality of the existing space.  a new 90m2 drama & music space was created, fully fitted for performance, along with a new art room, science lab, library, music room, IT room and food tech provision.

‘the ultimate outcomes were exceptional and provided the school with some wonderful new spaces, but also a concept design which could then be further developed and extended in the future. the time spent with staff ensured they were delighted with the outcomes; they felt very much a part of the whole project. Peter gave the staff a sense of ownership – these designs were done with them not to them. And everything was on time and in budget!’
