Brighton College Skidelski Building
Brighton College is an independent school for all groups from Pre-prep to Sixth Form. This new building completed in October 2010 within the Brighton College site to house the new Lower School, provides new classrooms and upgrades the Design and Technology department .
Brighton College Prep School Concept
This study examines a site on the edge of an existing sports ground and golf course and proposes a new building with minimum visual impact. A low impact landscape approach to the design has been taken. The building concept is two interlinked courtyards which are one storey below existing ground level. The cut from the excavations are used to create earth berms around the two storey building giving the appearance of a high landscaped bank around the entire building. The cut and fill are balanced to keep all material on site.
Brighton College Prep School Musicbox
This study was commissioned by Brighton College Prep School to look at a short term provision of music rehearsal and performance space to be used in the interim period as their planned redevelopment to the whole school progressed . The space is 6x10m with a capacity of over 60 people. This creates a new temporary multi- purpose function room providing a space which is identifiably new within the Victorian grounds.
Brighton College Prep School
This study proposes a new building of approximately on the site of the existing prep school playground. The proposal aims to create a new building which has a similar profile to the existing wall in order to reduce the planning sensitivity on building on the prep school site. The concept for the building is to create three long vaulted spaces running east west which are cut on the west facade at an angle to make a new garden.
Brighton College Science Facility
Feasibility study for the addition of three new science laboratories . The scheme proposed redeveloping the roofspace of an existing building by adding a storey and introducing a new lift to serve the new extension, connecting to the adjoining buildings making the entire upper floor of the College accessible. The project aimed at significantly contributing to improving the College’s renewable energy capacity by incorporating 250m2 of photovoltaic panels.
Brighton College Music Facilities
As part of the Brighton College Masterplan Study this proposal creates a new 100 seat studio theatre. The position of the new studio theatre creates a new square. The facades facing the square can be contemporary and enlivened by the placement of a grand stair which takes the audience from ground level to the raked seating.
Brighton College Tower
Feasibility study to comple the tower to School House. The original design for the school included a tower and bell lantern which was not built. This study looks at completing the tower from existing historic documentation. From existing historic drawings a design for the completion of the tower is proposed.
Drakelow Training Facility
This project has been instigated and driven by the Jericho Community Business which is an organisation that provides assistance to people who encounter significant barriers while looking for suitable employment. Jericho aims to break down these barriers, which may be caused by financial pressures, lack of education, low social status, inadequate housing, homelessness or poor health, by offering paid work experience, training and the means to finding a full time job. The proposal for the Drakelow site develops a unique Training Campus combining practical training skills for disadvantaged people within an environment in balance with ecology. Eight tunnel entrances will provide an opportunity to house living accommodation, training facilities, and offices. Behind these entrances sections of the existing tunnels will provide storage and further workshop facilities.
University of Perugia Residence
This new student residence is conceived as a scholastic village, and is designed as a ‘muro verso valle’ moulded to the contours of its hilltop site. The layout and aspect of the ‘muro’ exploits the commanding views over the surrounding landscape. A series of microclimate niches are created on terraces to the north of the building and minimise the impact of wind and to grow fruit trees. Buildings and planting are combined to create shelter and improve comfort in external spaces.
Southampton University
Grimshaw commissioned KFM to assist with the design development for the limited competition to redevelop the University of Southampton Campus. The new buildings will provide a new management school, a research laboratory and shared conference facilities.
