Feilden Fowles have recently been appointment by Hazlegrove Preparatory School, to design their new £1.2m Teaching and Learning Centre.
The new building is intended to be “the Academic Hub of the school. A flexible and innovative blend of teaching areas and learning environments. A building that inspires children to explore the excitement of learning”. Work will commence in July 2012 for completion by Summer 2014.
The timber frame is now emerging from the remains of the 19th century cob and stone barn, all carefully stitched together to unite new and old. Openings are being formed in the existing fabric, allowing for stunning views out to the north.
Ty Pren is featured in Passive Houses: Energy Efficient Homes (Braun, 2012). Further details, and a spread featuring Ty Pren, can be seen here.

Feilden Fowles Studio works
In preparation for our studio event on 27.10.11 we have been refreshing our space. The improvements include a new raised floor, which has been heavily insulated with a combination of Thermafleece (sheepswool) and an acoustic/ thermal layer of superfoil. New ply clad walls and window boxing will continue our gradual sealing of the existing concrete framed building fabric in preparation for the winter.
