Summerfields School We have developed a long-standing relationship with Summer Fields School, supporting the ongoing evolution of its estate through a series of carefully considered interventions that balance heritage, functionality and the needs of a modern preparatory education. Working within one of Oxford’s most established school settings, our projects have focused on enhancing existing buildings while introducing contemporary elements that enrich the wider campus. From the creation of a new Pre-Prep at Newton Lodge, to the sensitive refurbishment of the school chapel and the transformation of the historic New Room into a vibrant library (pictured), each project reflects a carefully tailored response to both brief and context. Our work has improved environmental performance, increased capacity and introduced flexible, future-ready teaching spaces, all while preserving the character of the original buildings. Together, these interventions demonstrate how thoughtful, incremental design can support the long- term development of a school, reinforcing identity while enabling it to adapt and thrive.
