Designate Design have won the tender to build a school extension in Portslade, beating two competitors to the post! We are starting the concept and tender stages immediately! The client is the the Swedish Folk School/Loxdale Centre. January 2013

Designate Design have been asked for a proposal to extend a private nursery school in South London. The site sits next to a cemetry. and the space is limited. The proposal includes a penthouse on the top floor, and a basement.

Dsignate Design were approached about an extension to the Loxdale Centre, a business School which also doubled as a Swedish government funded language school. There was an existing Victorian building with two extensions built at different times in th elast 30 years.

The extension was to cover an area between the three buildings, a piece of land on two levels. The final proposal came in under the clients budget, it has glass facing towards the South, a leisure are, video game area and a kitchen, the structure is of wood.

We retained a high level walkway for fire regulations, making an exciting building. Concept design is complete with a reduced area, for budgetary reasons. The design encompasses the clients brief, with a style and panache that is usual for Designate Design!
