This project for SLP College, a private dance faculty near Leeds, incorporates additional teaching and performance space over two levels, together with three new singing rooms within the roof space of a third storey. The additional facilities provide an extension to a former chapel which has been home to the thriving school for performing arts since 1991.
The college is one of the U.K.’s leading training grounds for young artistic performing talent, as such our inspiration for the scheme was to generate a series of spaces and external façade elements that reflected the vibrant creativity of the students.
The extension utilizes the existing red brick ground floor level to create a plinth for a modern extension above, using zinc cladding and coloured window reveals to add interest, whilst remaining respectful of the surrounding context and original chapel building.
