Caldicot School
A space where the students could enjoy the outdoor air.
The School
Caldicot is an 11-18 co-education school with over 1300 students in Monmouthshire, located between Chepstow and Newport.
Outdoor Sitting Area – The Concept
As a modern build school, they were looking for a sail/structure and furniture in keeping with the modern building for the inner courtyard terrace area adjacent to the dining room. The objectives were to create an area where the students can relax during the school day with a comfortable alfresco café culture environment, increase capacity and operate in a safe environment.
The Solution
We provided a perimeter beam tensile structure with integrated drainage system, providing a waterproof covered area while minimising the number of pillars. The area was completed with the provision of Tunbridge furniture providing students with a place to sit in during break times.
