Sarah Wigglesworth Architects (SWA), working with Architects Collaborative, has designed a
modern extension to the existing Victorian buildings of Kingsgate Primary School, creating a
playful and light filled addition to this London school. The new space includes a multi-purpose
studio, library and community entrance with accessible WC and storage.

“Working with Ann Griffin of Architects Collaborative has proven how, when it comes to
education projects that have forward-thinking clients such as Camden Council, collaboration
produces astonishing results,” says Sarah Wigglesworth. “Architects Collaborative, acting for
LB Camden, was instrumental in initiating the project, developing the brief and a site wide
masterplan while the SWA team designed the buildings and managed the process of delivery.
We are all proud of the result, which offers a wonderful new learning environment for the
pupils and staff at Kingsgate.”

“This is creative collaboration at its best – where the process is enriched and the outcome
exceeds what any individual member could have achieved without the shared endeavour,”
said Ann Griffin. “It has been particularly rewarding to see these delightful spaces in use and
to hear from the school how they support a seamless transition for pupils moving up from
their other site.”
