INTRODUCTION 1.1 Design Engine Architects Practice Profile Design Engine Architects What differentiates the practice is two aspects: delivery and attitude. We are proud of the high quality of design and Richard Rose-Casemore, Richard Jobson and Rodney Graham production information produced in the studio. To this is matched formed Design Engine Architects as a Private Limited Company in a pragmatism and common sense approach to creative problem December 2001. The practice is an established and award-winning solving. firm, with over 50 employees working collaboratively across its three studios in Exeter, Winchester and London. In addition to the production of drawings and CGI’s a uniqueness of the practice is the sheer number of physical models that we Design Engine's work holds the synthesis of high quality design produce. These become hugely important when describing ideas and sustainability as a core value. Many completed projects have to stakeholders, as we find they bring clarity to a proposal that been honoured with awards, including RIBA Stirling Mid-list, RIBA drawings often cannot. International Award, the LEAF (Leading European Architects Forum) Sustainability Award and numerous RIBA, Civic Trust, RTPI Design by Dialogue and BCI awards and commendations. We consider these shared reward for all those involved in the success of the project. We like to develop designs through close dialogue with all project- stakeholders.

INTRODUCTION 1.2 Site Visit Observations Mature oak trees surround the southern facade of the BTT which help soften the building in the landscape. Entrance to the BTT is hidden behind extensive planting and is partly restricted due to the location of the new boarding houses. The west elevation of BBT is one of the very few locations where the facade can be seen. The elevation is of poor quality but benefits from exceptional views across the playing fields and distant landscape.
INTRODUCTION The lighting galleries are currently unused by pupils due to health and safety concerns. Options need to be explored to understand how this space can be made safe for students. Back of house spaces need to be upgraded and re- organised to offer equitable space for girls. The entrance lobby feels restricted and the relationship to the main internal staircase is awkward. The double height workshop is well equipped and relates well to the main stage area. The introduction of a small mezzanine to store materials and props might alleviate the pressure on floor space? The existing bleacher seating is showing signs of its age but provides surprisingly comfortable seating helped by the comfortable distance between seats.
2.0 Experience
EXPERIENCE 2.1 Charterhouse Conceptual sketch of the new Science and Mathematics building.
Design Engine Architects EXPERIENCE Design Engine Architects have worked with Charterhouse school for the last 12 years following winning the Science and Science and Mathematics building. Mathematics competition in 2009. Since then they have helped Fletcherites Dining Hall and Boarding House the school deliver the Fletcherites Dining Hall and Boarding House. The Science and Mathematics building was completed in 2018 and went on to win numerous awards including the RIBA Regional Award in 2019 and a Civic Trust Award in 2020. The practice also helped the school in numerous masterplan studies from 2010 to 2015. The practice is familiar with the School however it recognises that it has gone through considerable change over the last few years as it transitions to a Co-Education school. The new Drama Extension project is part of this transition so we are keen to fully understand the implications of this change in order to ensure that the project brief is fully understood.
EXPERIENCE “As a practice, we are fascinated by exploring new teaching and learning environments. We have presented these ideas at educational conferences and also 2.2 Schools researched emerging trends in the UK and abroad. Our broad range of experience has enabled us to develop a specialist team in the Drama Studio and Les Beaucamp School, Guernsey design and delivery of exceptional academic facilities.” Richard Jobson Director Design Engine Architects Our approach to projects focuses on the unique needs of each school. We always strive to deliver end results that are sustainable in design and function and delivered professionally, on time and on budget. While our educational projects have won numerous awards over the years, we believe the greater sign of their success is how they can inspire generations of young people to benefit from the gift of education. We hope that the environments we create for them will in some way inspire them to look at the world in a new way and appreciate spaces that have been thoughtfully designed. Our goal is to construct environmentally sustainable buildings, often in historically sensitive contexts, that contribute to measurable improvements in the teaching and learning experience and, ultimately, student achievement. We have a wealth of experience and a strong reputation in the education sector. We are very fortunate to have worked extensively with independent schools; our current client list includes Charterhouse, Radley, Winchester College, Stowe, Berkhamsted and Canford.

EXPERIENCE Performance Spaces 2.3 Drama Our work includes both new builds and renovations where we have created performance studios for learning and rehearsal; Lighthouse Studio Theatre offering different modes of operation. technically equipped spaces for performance and recording, and vibrant, exciting and empowering spaces that animate the experience of Performance Art for all user groups. The discipline of Performing Arts will be found in both educational institutions and public spaces. Our work in Performing Arts has crossed both domains, but the difference in delivery between the two remains very similar; the result of educators wanting to simulate the environments found in the ‘real world’ of Performing Arts for their students has opened up the opportunity for us to design highly technical facilities covering aspects of theatre, dance and music. A selection of relevant projects is shown on the following pages demonstrating our experience in designing and delivering spaces for the performing arts.

Wardrobe Auditorium Control INITIAL THOUGHTS Dressing Room Rehearsal Levels Foyer The theatre is entered on the first floor from the higher ground to Existing Diagrammatic Long Section AA the North. The auditorium can be entered from the 1st or ground Lobby floor providing flexibility in layout. Audience facilities and access are spread across the ground and 1st floor, and may benefit from rationalisation to improve accessibility. The changing levels across the existing building provide both a challenge and a design opportunity for the project. It might be necessary to introduce a lift if the changes to the building are significant to warrant comment from Building Regulations.

INITIAL THOUGHTS 5.4 Cladding The theatre was built in 1981-82 and has retained its original corrugated metal cladding. Typical of the time the facade construction includes limited insulation and is significantly below that which would be typical of a new build today. Further research is needed to establish the best course of acton to help the building reduce its overall CO2 emissions, increase its life and help improve its external appearance.
