Farndon Primary School

Expanding a primary school on a restricted site

Single-storey wooden community building with pitched roofs, central glass doors and grassy foreground with a goalpost.
We won a competition to design and develop a scheme that replaced the existing library facility in Prestatyn, North Wales.

A prominent yet compact site within Prestatyn, our design looked to take influence from the ornate brick detail of the surrounding buildings. The solution was a series of pitched roofs connected to form a new residential complex, which sits in harmony with the streetscape.
