Rambert School Weston Studio

The Rambert School in Twickenham occupies two sites within St Margaret’s Estate Conservation Area, both of which have been extended to provide dance studios and ancillary spaces in the past 13 years since the School became independent from Brunel University. The studios are now too small to meet the School’s needs and with ambitions around community engagement the School. MICA’s proposals expand the capacity of the existing Weston Studio with a new timber, glazed extension which is sensitive to the existing setting. The designs embrace the wooded nature of the existing surrounding landscape to create a room in the garden, which makes the most of the landscape setting whilst also providing a considerably enlarged space for dance teaching.
