Our proposals for the remodelling of Torriano Primary School in Kentish Town has just started on site.
The project will create a new STEM (Science, Technology Engineering and Maths) lab over two floors of an existing turret of the Edwardian School building.
The new space features a double height activity zone with irregular, CNC-cut, laminated ply portals to define the space. The portals include openings that facilitate activities to take place to enhance practical teaching such as pulleys to be hung and fabric to be suspended.
The space also includes fold down demonstration desks, floor projection equipment and a mezzanine to enable students to undertake practical physics experiments. The project also features a south-facing cultivation and growing terrace.
The school already features a gatehouse design by Edward Cullinan that was completed in 2009, a playground by Erect Architects, and a remodelled reception area completed by AY Architects last year. #hayhurstandco #torriano #stem #riba #architecture #london #school #remodelling #science #technology #engineering #maths #lab #edwardianschool #kentishtown
