Creating a Green Oasis at the Heart of the School
Creating a Green Oasis at the Heart of the School
Dauntsey's School
Through a series of phases we transformed this former car park into an uplifting traffic free social space in the heart of the school framed by inspiring teaching spaces
Discipline
Architecture and Landscape
A new classroom building, sports facilities and dining hall tightly frame the softly planted Quad. Where cars once parked on tarmac, pupils now enjoy the sunshine and the scented plants, choosing active informal sports, socialising or simply walking around an attractive and purpose-built space.
The new classroom building is flooded with natural light and fresh air and the views of the gardens set a calm tone for lessons.
The key to achieving all of this was a combined architectural and landscape masterplan which removed the need for vehicles to come into the heart of the school.
