Methodology Project Risks and Opportunities and working to a budget Team, CV’s and structure Innovation and Sustainability Appendices

Statement of Appreciation. Since its foundation in the seventeenth century Haberdashers’ Aske’s School has periodically outgrown its accommodation and relocated to expand and improve its facilities and standards. Its present site has accommodated significant further growth since the school’s latest metamorphosis in 1961. Further growth is constrained to some extent by the incremental nature of school development over the past 50 years, and a masterplan has now been prepared to rationalise the Aldenham House estate and increase its capacity, efficiency and environmental quality. This will be constrained to some extent by the obligation to protect and conserve those elements that are historically significant – notably the grade II registered parkland in which the school stands, and the Grade II* former country house around which the School has grown. The recording of historically significant elements by Giles Quarme Associates helps make sense of the development sequence that has created the historic composition at the heart of the School. This can be used to pursue future adaptation while retaining features essential to our appreciation of that history.

The project focus is on the adaptive re-use of the existing building(s) known as Aldenham House to create new Methodology internal educative/administrative environments and is challenging and exciting for a number of reasons. The challenges are largely borne out of the physical constraints and Grade II * listing of Aldenham House, thus creating Part One significant statutory constraints. The project also presents great opportunity to preserve and enhance the School’s Design Methodology built environment. Our response to the request for our methodology to the project is broken into three parts. Part One describes our approach to designing specifically in this context, Part Two identifies the activities we believe are required to ensure that the project is successfully delivered for the School fully reflects its aims and aspirations and Part Three offers thoughts on one specific strategy for consideration by the School giving an insight into how we would take on this challenge. Director Led Design Design Engine has a reputation for delivery. This has been the case since the practice first formed and is facilitated by constant director involvement on a project. Every project is assigned a director who oversees all aspects of design and delivery and will ordinarily attend design team meetings, client workshops, presentations and will generally be actively involved in the day to day management of the project. The project will be directed by Rodney Graham who has a many years experience of working with historic buildings and who is involved in a number of similar projects for other independent schools. Our work will be supplemented by Steven Bee, director of Urban Counsel and former Director of Design and Development at English H heritage (now Historic England). He will advise on many aspects of the project with respect to the Heritage Asset. Developing understanding of the building From the outset the design team must have a thorough understanding of the onerous demands of dealing with the Grade II * listing of Aldenham House and the legislation which protects it, in order that the most appropriate form of engagement with Local Authority Planning and Conservation Officer stakeholders to gain their early support can be planned. With reference to the existing studies; Condition Overview and Report and the Significance Survey Schedule and Notes (Giles Quarme and Associates 2019), one of our first tasks will be to research the history of the site and gain an understanding of the timeline of development that the House has undergone throughout its history. We will map this history floor by floor with a series of plans identifying by key reference each pattern of historic development. An example of such a drawing is illustrated (right).

This acknowledges conservation as a means of managing change rather than opposing it. The approach is enshrined in the Conservation Principles, Policies and Guidance adopted by English The image below is from such a workshop undertaken at Prince’s Mead School, Hampshire , a Heritage in 2008 as a guide for planning authorities and others, for which Steven Bee was also responsible. This approach is now enshrined in Government Policy and Guidance and increasingly in local planning policies. The legitimate concerns of interested parties - statutory or locally representative - are often mixed up with personal preferences and prejudices. The heritage values approach to evaluating historic significance that Steven championed provides an objective analysis that avoids value judgments and highlights where and why differences of opinion may arise. By identifying such differences early in the design process, and providing an objective basis for their resolution, the progress of development can be speedier, and the full development potential of heritage assets realised. Developing the Brief and Understanding the Client’s needs Through RIBA Stages 2-3 we will work closely with the School to help them develop their brief and to responding to it with design proposals as it emerges with the whole design team bringing together a series of options for the building .

It may be necessary to review the nature of the consultation process going forward so that our The outcomes may be unfussy or ornate depending on context but they will always be beautifully approach aligns with the external stakeholders expectations. designed and budget affordable regardless.

We are aware that presently the School does not have a clear understanding of how it would like to see Aldenham Methodology House used in the future. The masterplan currently identifies it for ‘Ongoing maintenance and repair of historic fabric…’. We have a sense that this is indeed an important aspect of the project in order to secure the condition of its Part Three fabric for the future. By its very nature much of this work could account for a significant part of the available budget yet A Project-Specific Proposal go unnoticed. For this reason we would like to propose a balanced share of budget divided between essential fabric repair, conservation, restoration and new intervention (internal and external). The following sheets reflect our thoughts on how this might lead to the re-imagining of Aldenham House. Basement Ground Mezzanine First Second Area of Project Focus

Conservation and Restoration Methodology Our post-Expression of Interest visit to Aldenham House revealed a building which has many ornate period Part Three decorations throughout the building and a good deal of later additions which detract from its quality and the listing of A Project-Specific Proposal the building. PLANNED MAINTENANCE The listing itself is extensive and when combined with the highly informative External Fabric Condition Survey undertaken recently by Giles Quarme and Associates gives excellent insight into the work that will be required at some stage and according to fabric risk to bring about the longterm wellbeing of the building.

Creating a through-connected facility Methodology As with many listed buildings it is possible to map incremental change to the building through adoption and Part Three extension over the years as a need for the building to keep up with functional need. A Project-Specific Proposal Our proposal is to seek further appropriate change to the building so that investment in it provides a building of maximum value to the School. Presently we feel the building provides a strong historic identity for the School but does not necessarily meet its functional potential. This being a product of the historic asset itself and the associated limitations that an old building presents in terms of its built fabric and mechanical and electrical services to it. Our concept is to create a new ‘wing’ to the building (within the courtyard) connected through to the main building. Side Access retained Our concept for the project is to divide Aldenham House into two areas of A new courtyard work. A notional dividing line can be set which defines the types of work entrance could be that we foresee would be undertaken in each area. Works to the west of the created. building would be associated with demolition, new build and internal configuration / restoration. Works to east of the building would be Glimpsed views to a associated more with conservation and restoration of internal fabric only. new two-storey facility. 5. Future phases could consider better links through the mezzanine to other parts of the site planned for development. 2. Construct new ‘wing’ to courtyard space, retaining side accesses. 3. Reconfigure interior of building to make flowing connection from new spaces to Old Refectory/meeting room to ‘open’ the space. 1. Demolish flat roof extension ( deemed to have little or no significance). 4. Undertake conservation/restoration of interior according to functional and budgetary priority.

New buildings against old (precedent for new facility in courtyard) Methodology The Examination Schools and Ruskin School 7 of Art buildings are located in the heart of Oxford’s High Street and are fine Victorian Listed buildings. However, they were built independently and in a day when accessibility was not then a consideration. Consequently the buildings have differing floor levels and access into them in each case is via ornate and grand stepped entrances. Oxford University initially appointed Design Engine to carry out a feasibility study to establish a means of accessing the Examination Schools building. One option focussed on the potential to ‘convert’ and reconfigure a yard space between it and the Ruskin School of Art, offering the potential for both buildings to be made fully accessible Above: The existing yard. Above and right: The completed project. Brief requirements: • The yard is to be incorporated into the two Listed buildings • A fully enclosed weatherproof envelope • Provide step free access to the main lower levels of both buildings including lift access • The new architectural intervention must be sensitive to the fabric of the existing buildings • The envelope should also incorporate w.c.s including disabled provision.

Methodology Project Risks and Opportunities and working to a budget Team, CV’s and structure Innovation and Sustainability Appendices



Project Risks and Opportunities and working to a budget The following pages highlight typical project risks and opportunities that the School, design team and principal contractor should anticipate during the project. Previous Methodology pages suggest greater project opportunities. Planning Approval and Listed Buildings Consent are the key milestones to be achieved ahead of any other considerations about the project. Without these key approvals/consents the School will prevented from making the necessary improvements to its campus. Well considered, high quality design and applications should receive the necessary support required by Historic England and the Local Authority since the School’s presence on the site is itself supporting the aims of the statutory authorities to maintain the heritage built environment for future generations to enjoy, whilst delivering quality education.

Project Risks and Opportunities and working to a budget In addition to our approach of Continuous Value Engineering we would categorise areas of the project according to their nature and likely cost. This would we believe assist the Client and Design team to give a valued judgement about the benefit of expenditure in one area against another. We see our initial proposal as sub-dividing thus: 1. External fabric repairs - all areas of the building (mainly the roof but also windows and some elevations). 2. New build works including demolitions. 3. Internal reconfiguration works including restoration/conservation works. 4. Internal restoration/conservation works.

Project Risks and Opportunities and working to a budget PROJECT DETAILS Case Study Two London School of Economics (LSE), Old Reception Client London School of Economics and Political Design Engine have completed the remodelling of the main reception of the Old Building, off Science Houghton Street, WC2. This is the main entrance foyer to the LSE and its famous Theatre, which was in need of a major transformation to meet current security, accessibility and way-finding improvements. Project Main entrance remodelling and circulation The project, which was won in competition, includes a new green room for the theatre, toilets, improvements reception and split-level waiting areas. Central to the scheme are glass cabinets, which clad the existing walls, offering information, signage and inspirational extracts from luminaries’ speeches given from the Location London theatre.

Theatre One of the biggest challenges on the project was to maintain the operation of the existing entrance, in particular access to the lift so that the green room and theatre could remain in operation throughout the reconfiguration. This led to the development of a multiple-phased construction strategy. Additionally all of the services entry points converged in the office space behind the existing reception desk which also needed to be maintained. The client used the project as an opportunity to radically rationalise the services distribution within the building during the works .

Innovation and Sustainability Although working in a listed building can be constrained by statutory legislation and the physical fabric of the building itself, this type of project does also allow for innovation and sustainable design to flourish. It is quite often necessary to find different ways of doing things to overcome obstacles presented. Innovation and sustainable design can actually be applied at all stages of the projects life from the design activity itself through to the delivery of a project on site. Some examples of the types of innovation and sustainable design that may be applicable to Haberdashers’ Eske’s School are shown below. We will not know what Innovation and Sustainability will be called upon until we are in a position to assess the potential. Cross Laminated Timber How Design Engine are pushing the boundaries of CLT use. CLT has been used at both Radley College and Charterhouse Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is now widely available as a large span structural timber sheet material derived from offcuts from other timber based manufacturing. Design Engine have maximised the time savings that can be made from the use of CLT in two significant projects at Clocktower Court, Radley College and the new Chemistry and Mathematics Building at Charterhouse School. In both cases the CLT was used to create spatially and structurally Above: CLT Installation at Radley College. dynamic roof forms which were placed on a steel framed superstructure. The greatest advantages of CLT are that there is little or no embodied carbon production as a result of CLT manufacturing processes, making the material highly environmentally sustainable. In addition to this the size of panels and the accuracy with which these panels can be cut at junctions means that their erection time is very short. The advantage to be taken here is that a building can be readily watertight in a very short period of time, thus enabling following trades reliant on the dry to proceed rapidly behind completion of the CLT erection.

Connecting to an existing building Recent innovative designs for the link of the ‘new’ Science Centre at Charterhouse School to the adjacent listed building designed with Design Engine Architects. Connecting new to existing buildings To avoid any unwanted structural loads being placed on the adjacent listed building at the point the new building met the existing, we devised with the structural engineers a bespoke steel-framed solution which cantilevers from the ground and connects only by minimal sliding connections. In addition the ground floor slab was designed to cantilever over an existing coal-shoot attached to the existing listed building. The first floor slab is also designed to cantilever over the roof of a single-storey porch forming an entrance to the listed building. The purpose is to demonstrate to Historic England and the Local Authority Conservation officer that in the future the structure could be removed and the original listed building could be returned to its former state without significant repair or reinstatement of the listed parts affected.

The challenges of incorporating sustainable systems in listed buildings. Approaches to achieving lower energy usage which might be suitable for Aldenham House. The site visit to Aldenham House gave us a sense that the building has a series of M and E services interventions which have happened piecemeal over a long time. Not only are these services features protected but so is the fabric which hosts and often conceals them, therefore great care and more importantly proper regard to statutory legislation for the protection of the listed building must be observed. Great care needs to be taken when considering how systems can be updated or replaced and strategies should be considered by the Design Team at the earliest stages of the design development to ensure that the outcome is enhances and does not damage the heritage asset. It may be necessary to adopt a policy of preserving certain services features (such as pipework) in situ in order that concealing fabric such as plasterwork and timber pedalling are left untouched. Many approaches are possible but given that our approach also proposes a new build element to the overall project it would be possible to take the opportunity to upgrade the system as a part of a wider energy strategy which may be driven by the requirements of this potential new build element with options to include the following renewable energy solutions: • Fabric First Approach - better weatherproofing / draught-proofing, insulation and double-glazed replacement windows subject to Historic England approvals and insulation / ventilation good practice. • Photovoltaics - located on roof areas not visible from ground or other buildings). • Air / ground Source Heat Pumps - subject to location. • Combined Heat and Power Plant - although this might benefit serving a larger facility. • Water saving measures including Grey water collection / low pressure basin fittings and low-volume /waterless flushes to was etc. Above: PVs incorporated in slate roof Above: Heat pumps.
