Royal Ballet School, The White Lodge
Project: New Home, Head's House
Client: Royal Ballet School
Location: London
BH&M worked on a range of projects including new buildings for boarding houses, Headteacher’s house, dining hall & kitchens and ballet studios, plus the refurbishment of classrooms, studios, common rooms, staff rooms and offices.
The School grounds were developed to have areas of public, semi-public, private and intimate spaces, all created around the new buildings. In addition, we mitigated the effects on adjacent badger setts and have enhanced the planting in the park by creating a green hedge around the School, providing more diverse habitats for wildlife.
The new studios (named after Dame Darcey Bussell and the Director of the School, Gailene Stock) are specifically provide additional dance studio space.
