Chesham Road, Amersham, Buckinghamshire
Middleton School Middleton, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire New primary school for Milton Keynes Council to meet the Foundation KS1 and KS2 requirements. Due to expansion of Milton Keynes a new primary school for Milton Keynes Council was required to service the requirements of the entire Middleton community. Delivered through a partnering agreement the school was designed to be a warm and welcoming environment. The form, detailing and materials were carefully chosen to create a low maintenance yet distinctly modern building. The symbolic heart of the new school is the hall and this was reflected in both plan and built form. The single storey building is arranged in two concave classroom wings linked by a taller drum of the central school hall, library and ITC suite. The classroom wings wrap around an internal courtyard which is partially covered and provides a safe and secure external play area for the younger children. Accessibility and inclusion were achieved throughout with generous clear circulation routes. The internal layout is carefully design to maximise natural daylight with ancillary rooms sited internally. Awards: Runner up in the SCALA Best Building Awards 2005
Long Crenden School Extension and refurbishment of an existing pre-school and after school accommodation for a 1FE primary school. The proposals were to enclose an existing overgrown external courtyard adjacent to the pre-school and after school club at the rear of the building.

A temporary road was constructed around the site to provide access which provided the school with minimum disruption throughout the construction process.

Teaching Block Extension. The project for Buckinghamshire County Council involved the design of a new teaching block to replace three life expired double modular classroom units. Following completion of a Feasibility Study and options appraisal for the building location, a decision was made to locate the building as an infill between the existing main school hall, school meals kitchen and dining hall. An existing two storey link building was demolished to make way for the new teaching block. The school is set on a steeply sloping site with a storey’s level difference between each end of the new building. The design solution is a stepped two / three storey building incorporating lower and upper entrances at opposing ends and a central transition lift and internal staircases. The building accommodates 8No classrooms, staff offices and workspaces, an extension to the dining hall and a multi-purpose space. Remodelled external works provide an external transition between levels. Additionally, the site is set in the green belt and on the boundary of Missenden Abbey. In this respect, the new teaching block was carefully designed to minimise its impact on the local environment and built form.
Steve Owen joined PDD Architects in 2012. He has extensive experience in the education sector and has worked on a number of Primary, Secondary and Post 16 projects. Steve has expertise in all areas of running a project from strategic planning, initial feasibilities to detail design and contract administration, and also of the various procurement methods including Traditional, Design and Build and Partnering. As Architectural Director, Steve maintains a hands-on approach, overseeing projects from inception through to completion working closely with clients and stakeholders.

Small works
Often projects involve designated or undesignated heritage assets, within Conservation Areas or other historic contexts. These projects can be for private houses, schools, offices and places of worship.
Not every project is large and often smaller projects can be an interesting challenge, whether an infill development in an urban area, the renovation of an old house or a small extension to a school. Each requires a skill set to resolve a number of problems, particularly with the constraint of a small budget. These projects still require design skills, technical competence and a professional approach to succeed.
Over the past ten years Alistair has developed an understanding and a practical design based approach to the care of old buildings, with first-hand experience of the repair, restoration, conversion and extension of a number of historic buildings, including an old farmhouse with a hidden cruck frame that has subsequently become a designated heritage asset and listed Grade II.

St Bedes Extra Care, Bromham Road, Bedford
Masterplan for Wornington Green Estate for Catalyst. Detail design for Phase 1 of 328 units including apartments, mews houses and town houses. Lindsey was involved with the project from Stage D to work as part of a team to develop a response to the planning conditions and to take the scheme forward to stage E in tandem with meeting the requirements of Kensington & Chelsea planning department. The conditions involved extensive redesign to the elevations and block layouts.
Detailed design to convert a disused Victorian Catholic school into a100+ bed extra care scheme, associated communal facilities and communal gardens in the Bedford Conservation Area. The design involved refurbishing the existing two Victorian villas and a more modest two storey house on the site which were previously used as a Roman Catholic School and the integration of the new extra care scheme with the existing buildings on the site and in the context of the conservation area. The scheme also proposed the demolition of post war extensions added to the villas over the last 70 years. Lindsey was involved from concept stage through to the planning submission. The success of the project also came from working closely with the conservation officer and planning officer at an early stage to put forward more contemporary ideas and concepts whilst respecting the existing street grain, pattern and material palette.
Lindsey was primarily involved with the redesign of Blocks 2 and 3 of the scheme which consisted of duplexes, flats, penthouses, town houses and commercial units fronting Portobello Road. The residential units were a mix of tenure and included 10% wheelchair compliant units. The resubmission also included production of detailed bay studies to show the quality of the development and detailed facade design.

She has extensive experience in the education, residential, industrial and commercial sectors and is currently acting as a design team leader and project architect on the Buckinghamshire County Council framework agreement involved in development and extension of a number of school projects.
Wendover Campus, Chiltern Way Federation, Wendover, Buckinghamshire Development of a new teaching block, vocational block, sports hall and a new MUGA to an existing School for children with Behavioural, Emotional and Social Difficulties (BESD). The secondary school is set within the grounds of a Grade II listed manor house. The site area is approximately 16 acres (6.6ha) and falls within the Wendover Conservation Area and Metropolitan Green Belt. The sensitive nature of the site in close proximity to listed buildings and mature trees contributed to a challenging brief. The new accommodation includes a single storey teaching block incorporating a living sedum roof blending into the natural surroundings. The sports hall and vocational block are positioned centrally and are designed as contemporary and considered responses to the neighbouring existing buildings.
The Downley School - High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire
Extension and refurbishment of an existing pre-school and after school accommodation for a 1FE primary school.
New joint facility pre-school and after school club for an existing 2FE primary school and a community special school for students with profound learning difficulties.
The proposals were to enclose an existing overgrown external courtyard adjacent to the pre-school and after school club at the rear of the building. Access was limited and the school had to remain in full operation throughout presenting a challenge in terms of the logistics of the build. A temporary road was constructed around the site to provide access which provided the school with minimum disruption throughout the construction process.
The brief required an environmentally building ensuring high degrees of natural daylighting, natural ventilation and thermal comfort, the use of environmentally materials, rainwater harvesting and water management. Economic factors were also a main concern. The new building incorporates a fully inclusive pre-School, multi-purpose after school club, and dining room, a satellite kitchen and associated storage facilities, and an external soft play surface and landscaping. Natural passive stack ventilation was incorporated along with sunpipes and rooflights to maximise natural daylighting. Rain water harvesting was also included.

Middleton Combined School – Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
New secondary BESD special school. The existing school experienced poor attendance and required a new facility which would create a safe and welcoming environment for its students.
New primary school for Milton Keynes Council to meet the Foundation KS1 and KS2. Due to expansion of Milton Keynes a new primary school for Milton Keynes Council was required to service the requirements of the entire Middleton community. Delivered through a Partnering agreement the school was designed to be a warm and welcoming environment. The form, detailing and materials were carefully chosen to create a low maintenance yet distinctly modern building.
The new building is arranged in three low lying curved wings with the school located at their intersection. Two of these wings create secure play areas for KS3 and KS4 age groups. The third wing embraces an all-weather pitch to the rear of the school. Materials and detailing were carefully considered to create a calm and tranquil environment but one which is extremely robust. The new accommodation provides classrooms for 56 pupils, music rooms, ICT suite, design and technology and science labs, commercial kitchen and dining room and all ancillary areas.
The symbolic heart of the new school is the hall and this was reflected in both plan and built form. The single storey building is arranged in two concave classroom wings linked by a taller drum of the central school hall, library and ITC suite. The classroom wings wrap around an internal courtyard which is partially covered and provides a safe and secure external play area for the younger children. Accessibility and inclusion were achieved throughout with generous clear circulation routes. The internal layout is carefully design to maximise natural daylight with ancillary rooms sited internally. Awards: Runner up in the SCALA Best Building Awards 2005
