"An urban strip extending use over time"
Located in the South London suburb of Tulse Hill, Brixton, the school acts as a community hub both visually and physically. The original project brief called for a building of high quality to house a complex program of multiple educational needs.
The building employs sustainable design features including natural ventilation via wind chimneys, natural lighting, a green roof planted with sedum and an insulation material made from recycled newspaper.
The school was created with a total design approach pairing architects AHMM with Martin Richman (an artist known for his work with light manipulation), furniture designer Andrew Stafford, and graphic designer Morag Myerscough.

Artist Martin Richman saids of the design process:
We were particularly keen to explore the use of flexible space and the blurring of the boundaries between the inner and outer spaces. We considered playground spaces, garden entrances, breakout classroom spaces, resolution of lobbies and the assembly hall. There wasn’t an obvious division of areas of intervention and, curiously, many of the light features were instigated by the architects, which I then co-developed with them.
