Alteration to existing property, Sited in Greenbelt land, Within a Conservation Area
Edge Grove School needed a larger home for their youngest pupils age 3 and 4. Green belt restrictions meant that repair and conversion of an existing building was the most efficient solution. The new facility is in keeping with the ethos of the school where to “flounder intelligently” or think laterally is highly valued. The new plan created a series of inter-connected vibrant and stimulating learning zones which allow free flow around the building. Facilities include a child size working science kitchen, dedicated story telling area, ICT bar and Art & Craft and Dance Studios with further exciting opportunities for soft and role play under the canopy or gardens beyond. All fitted furniture was hand made for the project. The children love their new environment and have fully engaged with the enriched learning opportunities this provides. The back lit circular reading nooks are a firm favourite!
