Towers School, Ashford

“Designing a sustainable learning space.”

In the pursuit of excellence and innovation, we embarked on an architectural odyssey to create more than just a building – we envisioned a beacon of learning that reflects the School’s unwavering commitment to nurturing a vibrant, stimulating, and fulfilling educational atmosphere. Our ambition was to craft an edifice that serves as a testament to the School’s ethos, a place where the walls themselves encourage curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge.

Our design philosophy was to seamlessly weave together the threads of innovation and engagement, fashioning a structure that stands as a bold declaration of educational intent. With a palette of materials that are both fresh and enduring, we have sculpted a space that is at once contemporary and timeless. The technological advancements that punctuate the building are not mere additions but integral components that challenge and inspire, fostering an environment where scientific inquiry and environmental consciousness go hand in hand.

The blueprint for this academic haven was clear: to erect a two-storey facility in the northern quarter of the school grounds. This new cornerstone of learning would house five state-of-the-art science classrooms alongside five versatile general-purpose rooms, each designed to be a crucible of creativity and discovery.

Eco-Friendly Features: Central to our design ethos was the harmonious integration of eco-friendly features, ensuring that the building itself teaches a silent lesson in sustainability and respect for our planet.

Natural Light and Ventilation: We prioritised the harnessing of natural light and ventilation, fundamental elements that bathe each room in a warm, inviting glow while ensuring a fresh and dynamic learning environment. This strategic use of natural resources significantly slashes energy demands, thereby reducing the School’s carbon footprint.
