This great scheme for a new pre-school building has just been submitted for planning approval. The design has been developed to fit with the traditional architecture of the surrounding conservation area, but with a contemporary and fun twist. The entrance is framed by a pop up zinc roof that allows for a discreet signage zone and obvious way finding. Natural stone to the gables bookend the design, providing reference to the surrounding buildings, with timber cladding, windows, and coloured infill panels which create vertical emphasis and rhythm to the façade. The scheme also includes an outdoor courtyard with a glazed canopy. 

Solar PV panels are proposed, in conjunction with air source heat pumps (ASHP) and a highly insulated and airtight shell, to provide a green, sustainable, and vibrant pre-school the community.
