The college is on a tight site and with the demands of an increasing roll and the need of an upgrade on the facilities, the challenge was to meet the schools needs without restricting their operation.

The project brief was to provide a new gym and classroom block. As the available area to build on was limited, the new building had to fit within a restricted space along the North boundary of the site. This involved cleverly connecting the new building to the existing school buildings. Whilst maintaining the existing aesthetics of the school, it was also important to create a feature out of the gym as it was located along the front of the school.

Our mission is to produce unique design solutions by carefully interpreting the clients’ requirements, site potential and budget constraints. We regularly research international trends for cost-efficient, sustainable design solutions which leverage clever design to reduce long-term operational and maintenance costs. As specialists in a number of fields, we are well informed about future trends within the construction industry (particularly the changing role of emerging technologies) and how these trends will impact on architecture in the future.

DLM designers have a reputation for being practical, hands on people - consistently using cutting-edge practice to achieve the best results for their clients. We aim to create buildings that meet the needs of both current and future users, meet the budget of the owners, and have aesthetic and structural integrity that satisfies both.

Design and construction are some of the fastest-moving industries worldwide. We understand the need to design buildings that will be practical and timeless. We have an enlightened perspective on the future applications of the buildings we help to create. To gain this insight, we are constantly researching new materials and construction processes; seeking innovative design solutions; and keeping abreast of new regulations and industry standards.
