Sarah Wigglesworth Architects (SWA), working with Architects Collaborative, has designed a modern extension to the existing Victorian buildings of Kingsgate Primary School, creating a playful and light filled addition to this London school. The new space includes a multi-purpose studio, library and community entrance with accessible WC and storage.
“Working with Ann Griffin of Architects Collaborative has proven how, when it comes to education projects that have forward-thinking clients such as Camden Council, collaboration produces astonishing results,” says Sarah Wigglesworth. “Architects Collaborative, acting for LB Camden, was instrumental in initiating the project, developing the brief and a site wide masterplan while the SWA team designed the buildings and managed the process of delivery. We are all proud of the result, which offers a wonderful new learning environment for the pupils and staff at Kingsgate.”
“This is creative collaboration at its best – where the process is enriched and the outcome exceeds what any individual member could have achieved without the shared endeavour,” said Ann Griffin. “It has been particularly rewarding to see these delightful spaces in use and to hear from the school how they support a seamless transition for pupils moving up from their other site.”
An ambition for primary education in Camden
The London Borough of Camden, one of the city’s councils most committed to education and design excellence, selected Kingsgate Primary School for expansion to help meet the need for more pupil places in this relatively deprived part of the borough.
