Manor Studio

Edgley Design has been awarded planning for this ambitious new scheme working alongside London Russian Ballet School to dramatically enlarge their dance studios and teaching spaces in Clapham, South London. There are presently three small studios which limit the number of students able to attend the school.

The new scheme works with the existing grade II listed building, adding a pristine new studio volume floating above a new auditorium in the basement.  The new studio is separated from the original listed facade, retaining and incorporating the character of the existing building into the new spaces while allowing natural light to filter down into the studio and auditorium below.
