新的预备学校大楼重新安置了各种设施，包括5年级和6年级的教室、音乐、艺术、”STEAM “设施和学校大厅。学校也希望通过建造一栋新的大楼来解决学前班和托儿所的需求，同时建造新的接待班，这将使预科学校的启动过程更加顺利。
A New Prep School Building re-accommodates facilities which include classrooms for Years 5 and 6, Music, Art, “STEAM” facilities, and a School Hall. The School also wished to address the demand for Pre-Prep and Nursery by constructing a new building, alongside new reception classes which will smooth the process of starting Preparatory School.
场地被成熟的树木所包围，形成了一个由草地、阶梯状的林地三角洲和游戏区组成的起伏地形。向南和向西穿过山谷的视野是一个特点。因此，该场地需要一个特别的回应，以适应其环境。新预备学校建筑和托儿所的外观对于学校与世界遗产城市的关系，以及对于使用这些建筑的孩子们如何享受和喜爱这些建筑来说是非常重要的。
The site is bound by mature trees which enclose a rolling topography of grassed areas, stepped woodland dells, and play areas. Views outward to the south and west across the valley are a feature. The site, therefore, required a particular response, appropriate to its setting. The appearance of the New Prep School Building and Nursery was important in terms of how the school relates to the World Heritage City, and in terms of how the buildings are enjoyed and loved by the children who use them.
建筑体量采用了斜屋顶和坡屋顶的组合形式。这使建筑 “正常化”，成为人们熟悉的而非机构的东西。这些建筑是由大型交叉层压木板建造的。这是一种快速、干净、安静和板状的建筑形式，适合于学习环境。这提供了一个使用低内含能源的材料的机会。
The built volumes take the form of a collection of pitched and hipped roofs. This “normalises” the buildings to something which is familiar and not institutional. The buildings are constructed from large cross-laminated timber panels. This is a quick, clean, quiet, and panellised form of construction, appropriate to a learning environment. This provides an opportunity to use a material with low embodied energy.
内部暴露的木材创造了一种平静的感觉，再加上优质的日光和阳光，有助于降低压力水平，使孩子们和老师们精神焕发。外部材料包括屋顶和墙壁上的西部红柏木瓦，（一种林地的反应，孩子们可以感受到的规模），以及具有巴斯石色调的触感砖，（一种 “工艺 “材料，与在更广泛的学校场地发现的材料有关）。
Exposing the timber internally creates a sense of calm, which, when combined with the excellent quality of daylight and sunlight, helps lower stress levels and lift the spirits for the children and the teachers. The external materials comprise of Western Red Cedar shingles to roofs and walls, (a woodland response, with a scale that children can relate to), and a tactile brick which has the tones of Bath stone, (a “crafted” material which relates to materials found in the wider school site).
新预备学校建筑 规划布局将新预备学校建筑环绕在一组松树周围，这些松树位于一个木质平台结构中。这样做的目的是将树的平台纳入住宿区，使其成为一个额外的户外教室。该布局还允许新预备学校建筑拥抱并包含东边已有的 “森林学校 “区域，如篝火区、隧道和滑索。
New Prep School Building The plan layout wraps the New Prep School Building around a collection of pine trees that sit within a timber platform structure. This serves to include the tree platform into the accommodation, offering it as an additional outdoor classroom. The layout also allows the New Prep School Building to embrace and encompass the already existing “forest school” areas to the east, such as the camp-fire area, the tunnels, and the zip wire.
两个不同的体量由中央入口空间连接，也可用作展示或表演空间。最南边的部分包含了5年级和6年级的教室和 “STEAM “设施。最北边的体量包含大厅和音乐设施。新的学前班和托儿所建筑 该建筑被设想为林地环境中的木制亭子的集合。
Two distinct volumes are connected by the central entrance space, which may also be used as display or performance space. The southernmost volume contains the Year 5 and 6 Classrooms and “STEAM” facilities. The northernmost volume contains the Hall and Music facilities. New Pre-Prep and Nursery Building The building is conceived as a collection of timber pavilions within a woodland setting.
该计划的形式为每个年龄段的学生创造了独立的房间（亭子）。平面布局提供了一个通过托儿所向北的年龄流的进展，以及一个活跃的流通空间，这将提供小组工作空间和存储。每个年龄组都由支持性空间隔开，产生一个有盖的外部游戏空间。这些都与每个房间直接相关。
The plan form creates separate defined rooms (pavilions) for each age stream. The plan layout provides a progression by age streams northwards through the Nursery along with an active circulation space which will provide group workspaces and storage. Each of the age streams is separated by support spaces which generate a covered external play space. These relate directly to each of the rooms.
