Wilberforce Primary School

A new after-school activities centre and crèche for a City of Westminster primary school in West London.

Envisioned as a new gatehouse for the school this project was designed with two ambitions in mind: to provide the school with much-needed additional space and to help the school engage with the wider community.

The first phase of the project, which includes an activities centre and crèche is designed to inspire young minds through the provision of generous natural light combined with intriguing volumes and shapes throughout.

An entire wall is given over to displaying pupils’ work; another is fully glazed and, as a sliding wall, allows learning and play to take place both inside and out.
