We were commissioned by the William Norris Primary School to transform its unremarkable and visually overlooked facade into an 'exciting oasis' that could serve as both a learning and teaching environment and an engaging meeting-point for children, parents and teachers.

The school, which was built during the latter part of the 20th century, is done with red brick in the brutalist architecture style, with its now unfashionable coldly minimal character. The school gym by the entrance path is of dull brickwork and measures 16m by 16m by 6m (h).
