Light-filled nursery school extension

Lancing, West Sussex

We were the lead design architect and contract administrator through all RIBA work stages for this covered multi-purpose atrium space within the heart of Boundstone Nursery & Daycare Centre, West Sussex. We also carried out a design consulation workshop with the staff and end users prior to the submission of the planning application.

The site was a central open courtyard and the completed project provides much needed additional space to allow the Nursery to increase intake, as well as creating a new ‘heart’ to the existing building.

The design includes an elegant glu-laminated timber structure to support the new roof, with natural light and cross ventilation provided by rooflights.
