Surrey Square School Dining Building Client: Surrey Square School Location: Southwark, London Floor area: 320 sqm (£2,850/sqm inc. catering equipment & landscape) Project Value: £912,000 Date: Completed June 2010 This exciting new addition to Surrey Square School’s playground serves as a new dining facility and provides much needed additional floor space for the infant and junior school. Critically, the building does not reduce the external play area on this tight urban site by providing an accessible landscape over its concrete dome roof. Skylights puncture the dome and bring natural light down into the dining room while a stainless steel slide invites the pupils to play.
Residential
Because of the unique funding stream via a special purpose vehicle, the building had to navigate the planning system, be detailed designed, tendered and constructed in under 9 months. The building is also available to the wider community for activities and events and this has been taken up with enthusiasm by neighbours on the Aylesbury Estate after the building was officially opened in late June 2010 by Master Chef Judge and TV presenter, Greg Wallace, himself a local Bermondsey pupil in his youth.

Dalston CLR James Library and Hackney Archives Client: London Borough of Hackney Location: Dalston, London Floor area: 2,960sqm Project Value: £2.5m (£845/sqm) Date: Completed August 2011 Dalston CLR James Library and Hackney Archives combines the functions of two separate facilities; it is the largest library to open in Hackney for over a decade and one of the largest to open in the UK in 2012. Spread over four storeys the building includes a cafe, children’s library, adult library, teen zone, study room, meeting rooms, a public archive area and an archival repository in the basement that meets the strict requirements of BS5454. Over 40,000 books are available as well as 10,000 CDs/DVDs and 15,000 historic photographs and maps of Hackney. The library now is on course to achieve 300,000 visits in its first year - three times the number of the library it replaces. Earle Architects were appointed for the fitout following success in a competitive bid and we developed initial designs by MUF Architecture/Art, taking proposals from RIBA Stage D to completion. The project is part of a flagship regeneration project that includes 553 new residential units, a major new public square and new London Overground station, Dalston Junction.

Land within the Thames flood plain and is built on stilts to the approval of the Environment Agency. The idea of the glass extension was to bring the exterior into the building and allow the visitors of the club to be closer to the picturesque woodland surroundings. The project was completed in summer 2006 and was built after Earle Architects successfully secured planning consent following an invitation to compete in a limited competition.

Tolworth Court Sports Pavilion Client: Kingston University Location: Tolworth, Kingston-Upon-Thames Floor Area: 1,335sqm Project Value: £2.6m (£1,273/sqm exc. external works) Date: Competed May 2010
This new sports pavilion is located at Kingston University’s 22 hectare sports ground, Tolworth Court, and replaces a smaller facility that was no longer able to meet the demands of the university and local community. Sited within Metropolitan Open Land the steel frame skeleton is wrapped in cedar cladding while a feature lift shaft tower is covered with a translucent Kalwall skin. Inside, 16 changing rooms serve football, rugby, hockey, cricket and tennis players as well as match officials and wheelchair users. The first floor caters for functions and events with a large social space featuring an external terrace that enjoys views over the playing fields. The environmental impact of the building has been reduced thanks to a ground source heat pump providing 50% of the building heat load and solar thermal panels that pre-warm water for the showers.

Ritzy Picturehouse Client: Cityscreen Location: Brixton, London Project Value: £350,000 Date: Completed August 2012 The original Ritzy Cinema in Brixton (first known as the Electric Pavilion) dates from 1911 when it contained just one auditorium seating around 750 people. Since then the building has been restored following bomb damage in WWII and extended to house five cinema screens. The building is now grade II Listed. Earle Architects was appointed to reconfigure the internal layout of the front-of-house areas including foyer, bar and kiosk areas. A series of planning and listed building applications were successfully submitted to allow for a new kitchen, seating areas, bars and combined ticket/concessions counter. The first floor cafe has been transformed to a cultural hub - the aptly named ‘Upstairs at the Ritzy’ offers live music, comedy, and performance. Externally, we designed new signage to aid way- finding and to knit the remodelled Ritzy with its extension. Works were completed in August 2009. Earle Architects revisited the cinema in 2011 to help City Screen install a 3D projection screen in the main auditorium, offering audiences the latest entertainment technology in a historic setting. In 2012, following the success of previous works and the huge popularity of Upstairs at the Ritzy, Earle Architects was asked to design a partial infill of an existing floor void to increase the size of the venue and to make greater use of the adjacent external terrace by installing a series of glass doors.

Clapham Picturehouse Client: Cityscreen Location: Clapham, London Project Value: £234,000 Date: Completed January 2008 The Clapham Picturehouse first opened its doors in 1992 after the renovation of a Victorian snooker hall. In January 2007 Earle Architects were appointed to carry out a refurbishment of the interior and re-design of the exterior signage. At the time of the project, cinemas were not as profitable as they have been in recent times and we made the design of an integrated bar a priority to help boost revenue. The refurbishment consisted of works to the ground floor bar, lobby, foyer area and toilets. The efficient design successfully links the bar and cinema, maximises seating space and helps decrease running costs. The bar is well established as a venue in its own right and draws in visitors separate to the footfall of the cinema. The project was completed in December 2007 and paid for itself within the first year. Clapham is now Cityscreen’s most successful cinema in the UK.

Moor Street Client: ART Developments Ltd Location: Soho, London Project Value: £3.5m (shell & core), £4m approx. (fitout) Date: Shell and core completed January 2007 This £7.5m scheme consists of 33 hotel rooms, spa, gym, bistro, restaurant and bars in the heart of Soho. There are also three residential buildings refurbished into seven apartments within the two Grade II listed buildings. The complex triangular island site includes retained facades, new build facades and an increase of one storey upwards and 1.5m downwards. The scheme also involved six party wall awards and complex rights of lights issues. The extension of the basement involved working in close proximity to London Underground’s Northern Line tunnels. The hotel has an internal courtyard designed to link 12 buildings, previously used for prostitution, drugs and gambling, with a four flight stainless steel spiral staircase. A series of suspended walkways overlook the space, and create open and spacious access to the rooms. The owner appointed interior designers to fit out the spaces and since opening in 2011 the Z Hotel has received excellent reviews from The Times, The Guardian and The Telegraph, among others. The project is also featured in the book “Architectural Voices: Listening To Old Buildings” by David Littlefield and Saskia Lewis.

and remodelling of the retained part of the existing building. The £5.4m works will bring a clean, sophisticated look to the dark and oppressive existing building. The building’s use would normally be limited to urban areas, in accordance with national planning policy (PPS7). However, we were able to secure planning permission in this rural setting with a robust and detailed planning application.

Hoxton Square Client: London Borough of Hackney Location: Shoreditch, London Project Value: ÂŁ165,400 Date: Completed June 2011 Hoxton square is a vibrant and busy garden in East London bordered by bars, restaurants, offices, apartments, a school and an art gallery. A wide spectrum of people enjoy using the space for an equally wide variety of activities, which had taken its toll on the presentation of the garden. Earle Architects were appointed, following success in a competitive bid, to head a team of designers to rejuvenate the square and oversee works which took place over an ambitious 8 week period. We delivered new hard surface treatments, additional litter bins, extra seating, restoration works to the central fountain (dating from 1901), a new power supply to allow the square to play host to special events and, working with Onefield landscape designers, a new soft landscaping design.

The brief called for a series of music editing suites (shown in yellow opposite) and sound transmission between the spaces had to be prevented. We worked closely with specialists to carefully consider the partitions and cross-talk attenuators within the ventilation ducts overhead. The fast track project, lasting four months from inception to completion, was delivered under a design and build contract with Earle Architects retained as the Employer’s agent. As well as the music suites, the project provided a board room, cellular and open plan offices, tea points, meeting rooms and new reception.

Originally built in the 1980s the building suffered from poor access to the raised ground floor and low performance glazing. We prepared designs to lower the ground floor slab to enable level access to a new retail unit at ground floor level straight off of the street. This unit was fitted with high performance low-e coated frameless double glazing. The reception, which featured a retained section of the original London wall, was refurbished to a high standard and a new platform lift was installed to enable wheelchair access. The original reception desk was set behind a bomb-proof concrete wall - installed at a time when the threat of an IRA attack was prevalent. We modified this desk to incorporate a new lowered section for wheelchair users and clad the concrete in white corian to soften its appearance. Upstairs, the office spaces were fit out to Cat.

73-75 Stamford Street Client: Thames Reach Location: Waterloo, London Floor area: 625sqm Project Value: ÂŁ714,000 Date: November 2012 This grade II Listed homeless hostel building has been reconfigured at ground and lower ground floor level and extensively refurbished to provide a new reception, staff office spaces, medic room, kitchen, dining room and group therapy room. The underlying principle of the design was to open up existing small cellular rooms into open, inviting, naturally lit and naturally ventilated spaces to improve the wellbeing of the 19 service users and staff. The key space in the building is a new
Residential
dining and kitchen area that make use of a 1990s extension. This poorly conceived addition blocked natural light to part of the original building and was poorly connected to its host - and as a result was underused. Our designs enlarged a window opening in the original house to create a more meaningful connection between new and old - transforming two poor quality rooms into one large space which is bathed in natural daylight and links to the garden area. It is envisaged that herbs and vegetables will be grown in new planter beds and used in the preparation of food in the new kitchen, which is one a part of a programme of personal development the hostel service users can benefit from. As well as the extensive works at ground and lower ground floor level, a refurbishment

of the bedrooms and bathrooms on floors 1 to 3 was also undertaken as well as a total renewal of the building’s heating and domestic hot and cold water systems. Throughout the design process we worked very closely with the hostel operator (Thames Reach), building leaseholder (Hyde Housing), building owner (London Borough of Lambeth) and the conservation department of Lambeth Council to develop robust proposals that meet the requirements of all interested parties. Earle Architects also designed bespoke joinery pieces including the staff desks, computer work stations, storage solutions, kitchen units and radiator covers to provide a common language through the various spaces.
