The practice was commissioned in 2015 to design a hybrid building combining a 350-pupil primary school and 68 homes on a former fire station site. The 11-storey apartment block protects the three-storey school from the noise and fumes on a busy London street. Its compact plan frees up much of the site for the school and its generous courtyard playground.
