We are working with Megan Baker House, a charity providing Conductive Education services to children and teenagers with motor disabilities and also offering support to families and carers. After a series of consultations with the Client, we have been able to design a new centre that will allow an increased delivery of services and better accommodation for users, in comparison to the charities existing building.

The orientation of the building on the site in Leominster shields the facilities behind a banked earth shelter and colourful tactile wall from an adjacent business park. This coloured wall into the piazza provides a fluid connection between the landscape, external, and internal learning spaces. This notion is reinforced throughout the proposal in the choice of materials, adoption of natural lighting and ventilation strategies, and arrangement of learning spaces along a curved building line with views out towards the Welsh hills.

The new school provides a bright, warm and friendly interior, achieved by the choice of sustainable materials and comfortable geometries in the interior and exterior, reflecting the needs of our client.
