This handsome new building, inserted into a rather pokey corner of the original Victorian complex, provides a striking new entrance and a handsome reception area to the school. The simple design strategy is backed up by a host of inventive and delightful details – the free form ceiling with it’s stylised cross of rooflights; some elegant built-in furniture; the careful refurbishment of the stonework openings of the existing building. The amalgam of new and old buildings in this showy interior is a great success.
