Drayton Park School, London







Arvon Road,

London


In the studio, we are currently developing a proposal for an Art Studio and Community Room for Drayton Park Primary School. Still in the early stages, we have been generating a conceptual design plan and some visuals of our proposal.


The new extension of the school is considered to address the extended needs of the school as well as strengthening its vision that welcomes and supports the local community. The art space can extend beyond the walls of the building and address the whole playground area and vice versa.


This design approach draws inspiration from the difference in size/scale that is experienced among adults and children in everyday life. Currently, the tree house and the retired RNLI boat, that is also the schools symbol, have been transformed into an adventurous playground. These elements allow for a dialogue of scale, as do the children that explore them. This dialogue has become a central theme in the design process.
