Sensory room for Autism unit in North London Primary school. Designed in conjunction with the Unit specialist staff and the local authority Capital Works team. A space where children can calm down when their senses are overloaded or experience additional stimulus when they are hyposensitive. Integrated sensory equipment can create a variety of room moods and activities. The design incorporates natural materials, low odour finishes, natural ventilation, acoustic panels, blackout blinds and largely indirect artificial lighting on carefully specified dimmers to give a range of lighting settings. The layout, integrated fittings and concealed services create a room with minimal visual clutter.
