Daniel’s friendly and collaborative approach allowed him to develop excellent working relationships with clients at all levels
— Keith Hardcastle - Director DarntonB3, York

Brief: The brief was to create a new primary provision and enhance the sense of 'all-throughness' and synergy with existing academy.  Solution: The ‘boomerang’ shaped plan connects directly to the existing building on ground level to create a new 'spine link'. This successfully connects the new and existing schools together with minimum disruption to the existing school layout. The boomerang floor plans angle away from the exiting building to create new internal and external spaces.
