Challenge
St Edward’s Independent School in Cheltenham is a co-educational Catholic based foundation school with around 500 pupils. Quattro Design Architects has provided educational architectural design services for a series of projects for the school, foremost amongst them was the challenge to design, within an historic setting, a new 2 storey building providing a refectory, drama studio and classrooms.

Solution
Quattro designed the stylish exterior predominantly in glass and stone and as a response to the listed building setting and in order to create a dramatic interior space for the refectory with stunning views over the mature gardens. The steeply sloping site creates a semi-basement which is an ideal location for the bespoke design of the drama studio.
The school and parents are delighted with their new facility.
Quattro's close attention to detail and thought that went into the design and planning stage of the development is clearly evident and their thoroughness was maintained during the construction phase.
