Image Courtesy © DRAW Photography LTD The first step was to shed the building of the layers of ad hoc alterations to reveal its original features. This exposed extensive hardwood timber floors, impressive steel trusses and an expansive glazed industrial saw tooth roof. The facility required large and adaptable rehearsal spaces for the dance studios, and more intimate spaces for administrative, teaching and student facilities.  Image Courtesy © DRAW Photography LTD The building has a small street presence belying the spacious and light filled studios which reside behind the street facade. Our design looks to maximise this arrangement by creating an eye catching street presence which leads the users through a deceptively modest gallery space, before surprising the visitor with a light filled adaptable space housing the dance studios. In the floor below these studios are located more conventional teaching and student facilities.  Image Courtesy © DRAW Photography LTD The project was built to a demanding timeline and budget. This drew the best from the designers at Creative Arch to enable the completed building to provide a special place for the performing arts school to call home.
