Copthall Refectory

Location: Barnet, London
Sector: Education
Client: Copthall School

This project is an extension to the existing Copthall School refectory building. The extension was designed to be low-cost but high-impact, providing seating for an additional 70 students for an ever-increasing student body.

Our design and use of materials complements the existing school complex and preserves the local character of the borough and the setting of the green belt.

The extension was specifically designed to be constructed quickly and cost-effectively, with minimal future maintenance.
