Practice Profile A brief insight into who we are and how we work.

• Established in 2000 • Nearly 40 People in our Winchester, London and Exeter Studios • 50+ Awards • 18 RIBA Awards and 5 Civic Trust awards • Majority of projects in the education sector, particularly the Independent School Sector and Further and Higher Education. • Significant Master Planning/architectural experience in historically important environments.

PRACTICE PROFILE “ Design Engine Architects are a very professional and dedicated company. The Directors and staff are very competent and really do consider the client’s needs. Some architectural practices are only interested in the design (and what the design can do for their practice). Design Engine really do want the client to have a building they can afford to own as well as one that delights them.” Kerry Hutchings Head of Major Projects, Foreign and Commonwealth Office Design Engine Architects The following activities characterize the practice’s approach to Team approach Richard Rose-Casemore, Richard Jobson and Rodney Graham all projects: Design Engine likes to work closely with its client and consultant formed Design Engine Architects as a Private Limited Company in team alike and to date have enjoyed long-term and fulfilling December 2001.

This is a key part of our service and is never a time-limited exercise. We consider that the client briefing process Lessons learnt Design Engine's work holds the synthesis of high quality design is a key part of the relationship-building process and consequently Design Engine considers the delivery of a building to be a journey and sustainability as a core value. Many completed projects have Design Engine invests significantly in this aspect of its service. for all parties concerned and the practice considers it vital that been honored with awards, including RIBA Stirling Mid-list, a RIBA once it is completed an opportunity is made to reflect on the International Award, the LEAF (Leading European Architects Director-led Designs positive and negative outcomes of the project, in order to Forum) Sustainability Award and numerous RIBA, Civic Trust, RTPI Design Engine projects are always director-led from inception to continuously improve its service. and BCI awards and commendations. completion.

The Models The Practice has received over 50 Design Awards since 2001. project will be carried out from our main Winchester Studio. In addition to the production of drawings and CGI’s a uniqueness of the practice is the sheer number of physical models that we Award-winning delivery produce. These become hugely important when describing ideas The practice prides itself on the delivery. As much investment is to stakeholders, as we find they bring clarity to a proposal that given to the process of technical design and production drawings often cannot. information and contract administration as is given to client briefing, scheme design delivery and the making of planning applications. Design Engine’s staff receive the best training possible in order to deliver outstanding projects for its clients.

PRACTICE PROFILE Working with our clients Design by dialogue We enjoy the process of sharing the design journey with the client body, and value their contribution towards the emerging proposals. Feedback is recorded and reviewed by the design team. We invest time in preparing presentations, drawings and models tailored for specific audiences. Communicating our ideas clearly through three-dimensional physical models, as well as computer generated models (CGIs) makes this process efficient and focused. Client Care We pride ourselves on our approach to our work, in particular how we listen to our clients. Our focus is to treat the client as a key part of the design team and whilst we expect to be the ones doing the hard work, we recognise the enormous insight and expertise that the client can bring to the design process. For us the key to understanding the client’s brief is to understand the client’s approach to education and pastoral care, the long-term vision and values of the institution and the constitutional arrangements in respect of how decisions need to be made by the client body. We will often need to consult directly with senior client-users who are responsible for specific aspects of the schools operation. Whether we are working on a design for a specific building or a wider strategic masterplan, we adopt an approach which we refer to as ‘design by dialogue’. The phrase captures the essence of the process we undertake, which is to work closely with our clients in order to consolidate the brief and to establish different and appropriate options in response.

“ The exterior of the building adopts a neutral palette, brown brick and dark zinc roofs and chimneys. The effect is to dissolve a quite large building when seen from a distance. Closer to it unfolds as a carefully choreographed architectural experience wherein the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. It is a building to be experienced rather than looked at, providing an exemplar for school procurement and provision that puts most UK practice to shame.” RIBA Award Citation 2013 Central courtyard looking towards the sea

The Initial Brief establishes the need for the following additional spaces for the Art and DT departments: A key initial study will be of the current accommodation, in order to establish whether some spaces can be re-assigned, or rearranged in order to increase Teaching spaces: efficiency and upgrade them in line with current technology.

CHARTERHOUSE ART & DT North and West elevations of the existing Art building viewed from the main approach into the campus Initial thoughts Design Approach The setting The existing Art and DT buildings are visible from the main entrance into the school grounds, adjacent to the new Science and Mathematics Building. They are therefore prominent in presenting a first impression of the campus as a whole. Any addition to the art building will need to carefully managed to ensure the overall building reads as a single entity. To the South, the Art Building forms a northern edge of an outside space, part of which has been newly paved in anticipation of this space being fully landscaped as a courtyard. The North, West and South elevations of the Art building therefore play a prominent role in the forming of exterior spaces, and as such, any extension and refurbishment presents an opportunity to provide fitting backdrops for these important spaces and views. The courtyard would be greatly enhanced by a new south facade which would provide a fitting backdrop to a space that would be used for the display of sculpture, DT projects and for events. Adding a facade to the existing building would also provide the opportunity to greatly improve the internal spaces in terms of thermal and solar control, natural daylighting and ventilation.

CHARTERHOUSE ART & DT ‘JOHN DERRY’ DESIGN Initial thoughts TECHNOLOGY Key priorities B Taking these two key parameters into consideration, as well as the budget proposals, we would suggest the following approach in ART C the development of the design: STUDIO A 1. Existing accommodation to be thoroughly assessed and area E D efficiencies made where possible to be certain that a new extension is required. 2. Refurbishment of existing spaces including heating and lighting and possible re-configuration to create more flexible space. 3. The size of any extension(s) to be kept to a minimum.
