Current Project: House Refurbishments

The precisely thought-through Rafle, McCormick and refurbished Baines have now had a few years to be fully tested by the boys - certainly a formidable testing regime for all the contents of the houses and their layout. The combination of light, space and practicality all wrapped up to create a feeling of ‘this is my home’ has evidently worked. We are now taking this standard to the remaining houses over the coming years.

We begin with creating a new home for Tatham in the Pennington Quad (see pages 32-33) and will then follow on with the other houses. Transit accommodation is always a challenge as no undertaking of this scale can be started and completed in any one holiday period. We will therefore use the existing Tatham as transit accommodation as each house is renovated. We expect this process to take 5-6 years.
