Jury Report
LB Southwark SILS3 is a Pupil Referral Unit for children who have typically been excluded from school. Its purpose is to give students time out from mainstream education before they are ready to return. Their behaviour can be challenging and demanding. The project came without a detailed brief. Because the school?s previous premises ? a reappropriated children?s home – were so ill-suited to its needs, the Head?s first instructions were no more detailed than to request a new school building. In response, architects at Tim Ronalds spent several days observing lessons on site and consulting with pupils, staff and management.
The immediate sense is one of simplicity and calm. The new building is inviting. It is comfortable, light, spacious and airy whilst also evidently being secure and tough. It successfully and discreetly assimilates its complex brief.
Throughout, the material palette is mellow. Outside, the near-white brickwork, window frames and stone surrounds and latticed parapet are uplifting...
