CLIFTON COLLEGE NEW DAY HOUSES

We carried out a project for a new building containing two day houses for Clifton College Preparatory school. They replaced two small and ugly 1970’s houses which were seen as ‘negative’ buildings within the conservation area. The four storey building incorporates changing rooms in the basement and a dance studio on the second floor with common rooms and prep rooms on intermediate floors. The building was completed as a design build contract on time and budget. The building won a Clifton and Hotwells Improvement Society award.

The elevations incorporated Bath stone string courses and dressings which contrast with the pennant coursed rubble stone. The steep pitched roofs are clad with natural slate. A Bath stone fleur de lys, (a Clifton emblem), was built into the parapet over one of the entrance wings. NBW produced a computer generated model to assist with the planning application (see image below).
