Carlton Hill Primary School – Brighton

Redmak have been appointed by the outstanding Carlton Hill Primary School to design new outdoor learning + green play spaces – the brief from the children is it should feel ADVENTUROUS + FUN – sketches, consultation materials + furious model making will happen in the autumn to take to the school to kick start the project.

Redmak will be working alongside EPR architects who are designing a new entrance and arrival courtyard for the school. The scheme is funded through section 106 monies as part of the new EPR designed AMEX office building adjacent to the school.
