Hazelwood School
50 Dumbreck Court
Open: Saturday 10-4pm
Architect: Gordon Murray and Alan Dunlop (2007)
A rare opportunity to see a most deserved winner of a Civic Trust Award 2008 and a Doors Open must see, this new school building for children with a range of disabilities. Incorporating the existing trees, the architects have curved the building, setting it beautifully within a series of small garden spaces.
The internal spaces echo the external curve and reduce the institutional feel, enabling navigation through thoughtful use of colour, texture and a 'trail rail' - thus encouraging independence and freedom. The project architect, Alan Dunlop, will give talks about the development on the hour from 10am with the last talk starting at 3pm.
