We were invited by the Girls' Day School Trust to take this project forward and create a Performing Arts Centre for Putney High School. The design wraps a new skin around the existing building to provide extra storage, teaching and access facilities, together with balconies, retractable seating and a dividing partition, and create a flexible, highly attractive new facility for performance, music and presentation. Reversible oak and fabric wall panelling allows the School to adjust the degree of reflection and absorption to suit speech and music. The main space is equipped with a sophisticated lighting and audio visual system.
