Skelly & Couch was appointed to provide technical input for the masterplan and outline planning application for future developments at the City of London Freemen’s School, a co-educational day and boarding school located in Ashtead Park, Surrey.

The project involved the full refurbishment of all public parts of the BREEAM ‘Very Good’-rated Hall for Cornwall and the creation of a new multi-layered auditorium, which reveals the stunning historic fabric of the building to maintain its core cultural purpose to entertain.

The project formed part of the Horniman’s wider ambition to create a better link between the museum and its gardens. The aim of the proposed new community and education building was to create an inspirational learning environment, bringing the learning experience to the outside and therefore maximising the full potential of the existing garden site.

Pioneering £8.6m regeneration of the Horniman Museum and Gardens in Forest Hill, south-east London, designed to highlight the climate emergency.

Hoxton Hall is a Grade II*-listed and very rare surviving Victorian music hall located on bustling Hoxton Street in East London. The building is used as a community arts centre.

Skelly & Couch has carried out a series of commissions for the King’s School Canterbury, within a beautiful setting near Canterbury Cathedral, a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

This exciting project provided a new drama centre for The King’s School Canterbury, a co-educational day and boarding school with whom Skelly & Couch have had a long professional relationship.

The tight site within the Conservation area of Canterbury, chosen to provide a day house for 70 non-boarding pupils, contains the remains of a medieval hospice (a Scheduled Ancient Monument) which forms one external façade wall. The Grade II-listed day house comprises study and social spaces, changing rooms and a kitchenette.

Working with the UK’s most historic school, Skelly & Couch have been involved in the refurbishment and extension at the King’s School Canterbury, an independent, co-educational, day and boarding school located in Kent.
