What we’ve made
Gretton Rectory School
Extension and refurbishment to enable the integration of a new form of entry per year, as well as other specialist spaces, dining and new library.
Crutches Farm
Crutches Farm is a historic farmstead located in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This collection of dilapidated and disused agricultural buildings sits within the curtilage of a Grade II listed farmhouse but does little to enhance the setting of the listed building. Burns Guthrie were part of a team appointed to examine the refurbishment and possible conversion of the buildings, which include an oast, a fattening lodge, a stable and a timber-frame barn, to residential or leisure use.
Duncton School, West Sussex
In 2017, West Sussex County Council commissioned Burns Guthrie to carry out feasibility studies for 14 schools. In the case of Duncton, the challenge was to design a new school to amalgamate the existing and separate infant and junior schools into one new school. This involved extensive discussions with both schools, the Local Education Authority and the Diocese. It was important that the design inspired and won approval from all stakeholders and had to allow the school to operate during construction work.
St Bernadette’s Church, West Kingsdown
The church approached us to design an extension that could accommodate a small church hall and associated facilities, complete with its own entrance. The challenge was to prepare a design which represented a logical extension of the existing form and that sat comfortably in its context.
