Article source: Hopkins Architects We were commissioned to design a music building for Bryanston School following the completion of the Sanger Building for Science and Mathematics.  Music section
 Webview The building features a 300-seat auditorium along with rehearsal, practice and teaching spaces. Our proposal responds to the richly varying context, which includes the Grade I listed Norman Shaw house to the west, and Beech Wood to the south, by arranging a series of linked buildings around a central open courtyard, with each of the roofs sloping in towards the courtyard.  Masterplan The main entrance to the building provides access directly off the upper plateau into a triple height space which allows views to the wood beyond. The significant level change across the site is taken advantage of by situating the modern music department in a semi-basement area with an open side onto the courtyard. Above this sit two wings of accommodation containing practice and teaching spaces, general teaching classrooms and administration. The main recital hall has a fan shaped plan and dramatic roof form facing back towards Coade Hall. The proposal also enhances circulation around the site, with a new external space adjacent to Coade Hall and improved connectivity to the existing school refectory.
