Architects Journal Magazine

Issue : Dec - 2024

This issue is devoted to buildings that are created with community at their core, a particularly important theme as we shake off the old year and face the new.

Heathlands is one of the largest schools for deaf children in the UK, and we publish a building study of the Woodland Building, designed by Manalo & White in collaboration with deaf architect- led practice Richard Lyndon Design. Each careful detail – from site to sightlines, from colour scheme to desk placements – focuses exactly on what signing and lip-reading pupils want and need. Other building studies include Jonathan Hendry Design’s community hub in a quintessentially English village, and a ‘carefully considered’ nursery fit-out by Office S&M in London.
