Project Description
FROM RIBA:
“The judges like the way that it sensitively slots into an urban school cluster, letting the ridgeline of an adjacent tin church limit its height. Materials make it unobtrusive, the roof profiled in terne-coated steel weathered to look like lead, with timber-clad walls, reclaimed brick and an entry porch faced with stone from an old boundary wall.” – Nonie Niesewand on the RIBA Stirling Prize jury from 1999 [via The Independent at http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/architecture-a-beauty-contest-with-heart-and-soul-1124383.html].
