Description
New teaching block extension
Sherborne Preparatory School is an independent co-educational day and boarding school for children aged 2.5 to 13 years.
BoonBrown was commissioned by Sherborne Preparatory School Governors to design and manage the build of two new extensions to accommodate 11 classrooms as general teaching areas.
The design was inspired by the bay proportions found on the existing school house and utilised high quality Ashlar stone and curtain walling to create a clear rhythm along the elevation. The two extensions book-ended the existing historical buildings and completely transformed and modernised the appearance of the school.
The comfort cooled building uses both traditional and contemporary materials to produce a building which harmonises with the traditional buildings that surround it.

Description
New technology teaching block
The Da Vinci Centre is a new design and technology centre at Highcliffe School for children aged 11-18 years old. The new design and technology centre consists of 14 main teaching areas arranged in two wings accessed off a large central lobby/ display area.
The design brief was to create a stimulating environment for the students, befitting a design centre that will also compliment the adjacent existing 1960’s buildings.
Prior to design, BoonBrown carried out a complete analysis of all the teaching spaces against the curriculum and highlighted the need for an additional 20 classroom humanities block, which was added onto the phased master plan.
The building form was kept simple using quality materials which sit sympathetically within the landscape. This created a comforting yet inspiring environment for students studying at the centre.
