2016 Canterbury Architecture Awards Winner
Winchester Precinct
A key part of St Margaret's College rebuild programme, the Winchester Precinct blends traditional pedagogical design with up-to-date thinking. By creating a wonderful active edge to Winchester Street - with the unusual integration of a public café - the architects have created a thoughtful urban response to the street edge. An internal 'street', partially flanked by a double-height cloister, is framed at one end by the college courtyard, which sensitively employs the scale, detailing and materiality of the adjacent buildings. The design has successfully brought some of the more active functions, including dance studios, into view, which activates the school from a variety of angles.
