Mercia Academcy Successfully Moved into a Temporary School on School Playing Fields 

 

The construction of a new temporary school, serving Mercia Academy, was recently completed with staff and pupils moving from the existing school, which is to be demolished due to structural issues, into the new temporary buildings. These temporary buildings have been designed to provide good quality teaching accommodation whilst the new purpose built school is constructed on the site of the existing building. 

 

This scheme is complete with hard and soft play areas for pupils whilst maintaining the immediate secure boundary of the schools to keep pupils safe.

'SPACES President's Award' Won for The Arts Xchange, Islington 

 

The conversion and refurbishment of former six-storey office building into an AP Performing Arts College with acoustically sensitive rooms and formation of a double height theatre won Sense of Space the SPACES President's Award (Society for Public Architecture, Construction, Engineering and Surveying). 

 

For the President, this project demonstrated excellent strategy for supporting the mental health of young adults with additional needs via provision of a wide range of activities. As well as an enthusiastic example of how arts successfully contributes to the harmonious development of children, and how it can help them overcome different challenges. This 14 to 19 Free School has made a big social impact to the local community in an around Central London.​

 

The refurbishment of the building itself is successful but the impact and outcome of the facility far outweigh the material things.​

3D Printed Space

Furthering our design and presentation options we have the ability to produce higher quality 3D prints.

 

The adjacent example is of a private dwelling printed at 1:200 scale.  Whereas previously the printers available felt like they limited the level of detail that could be achieved the new breed of 3D printers allow for a far greater level of detail and complexity in the model.

 

This particular model is printed as 5 components that clip together allowing the internal layout to be viewed.

Public Consultation for School Extension

Arnold Academy in Barton-le-Clay will be hosting a Public Consultation for the scheme we have developed with them for a new sports hall and classrooms at their current site.

 

The Public Consultation will provide useful feedback for the upcoming planning application.  The sports hall and classrooms are due to be handed over to the school by September 2018.  To meet the programme the proposals are designed to make use of off-site construction methods.

Sense of VR Space

 

 

At Sense of Space we are always looking for new ways to demonstrate schemes to our clients.  Using Virtual Reality we are able to put you directly into the spaces we create.

 

Our models on Sketchfab are being updated to be VR compatible and using a VR enabled mobile device the schemes can be viewed from a new and exciting perspective.

Celebrity Connections

We are currently involved in filming for a future episode of Grand Designs during which our very own Richard Addenbrook is interviewed by Kevin McCloud. Following the interview, Richard and Kevin took part in a recorded workshop session looking at the detailed design of this self-build project. In true Grand Designs fashion, it could be some time before this episode makes it to air!

 

We are also pleased to have worked with Linda Barker on two projects which were very personal to her: the redevelopment of the Barker family farm near Halifax and alterations to Linda's Yorkshire home.
