Stowe School, Girls Boarding House
Education
Stowe School
The school site incorporates Stowe House and its renowned landscaped gardens which accommodate the largest concentration of Grade 1 listed buildings in London.
Reflecting the history of landscape design in England with significant contributions from Vanbrugh, Bridgeman, Kent and 'Capacity' Brown. To compliment the historic setting, the building is finished in Bath stone and zinc. The curved surface of the façade is articulated by a series of projected windows.
The engineering services design was developed in conjunction with the schools team with whom we had worked with on many previous projects. Internal lighting design was key along with passive design to limit summer overheating.
