Recently completed: Acorns Nursery at Netley Primary School, is a single-storey nursery building for 20, 2-year-olds. The site sits between a bold new school building completed in 2014 and a triple-decker, Victorian Board School – the ‘King’ and ‘Queen’ of the site. Acorns is conceived as the cheeky little ‘Jack’: a single-storey building that mimics its larger neighbours with its flush pointed red-brick, diamond-shaped mirror tiles externally and acoustic shaped tiles internally. The frog-eye window scoops light into the depth of the plan behind the shadow of the neighbouring buildings and helps provide views out from within. photo credit: @kilianosullivan #hayhurstandco #netleyprimaryschool #acornsnursery #euston #nursery #jack

On site this year: Our new school building for Edith Neville Primary school. A view of the boundary of the school form the adjacent public open space. The boundary comprises a white, profiled and perforated mesh between steel posts which open up to provide framed view of the new school building and planting in the school’s outside spaces beyond. The project forms part of Camden’s ‘Community Investment Programme’: a new school and Children’s Centre in a new masterplan for Central Somerstown. We worked closely with masterplanners DSDHA, and Duggan Morris, dRMM and Adam Khan Architects who were working on other buildings in the masterplan. #hayhurstandco #edithneville #dsdha #dugganmorris #drmm #adamkhan #camden #primaryschool #cip

Hillyfield at the Park: A sketch of our recently complete 3-phase refurbishment and extension of an empty 1960s secondary school to provide a new 4FE primary school. Open plan classrooms include group rooms amongst a planted façade that creates a new green foil and formal boundary to the north edge of the Park. #hillyfieldatthepark #hillyfieldacademy #primary #walthamstow #lloydpark #hayhurstandco
