Designing
We sketch, draw and make models.
We create buildings to live in, work in and learn in.
We map out spaces and places.
We design the future.
Mountview Academy
Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts is a 10,365sqm purpose-built education facility conceived as a ‘Warehouse for the Arts’, consisting of two interlocking buildings – The Theatre Block, and the Studio Block. The cor-ten steel clad Studio Block is arranged around a central ‘street’ atrium space that works like a mixing chamber for users of the building, allowing students to meet, interact and informally rehearse. The black brick clad Theatre Block has a 200-seat theatre at its heart, along with a dedicated set building workshop, and rooftop restaurant/bar with panoramic views across London.
