Our buildings are designed to enhance people’s lives, and in their own small way, make the world a better place. For us, the process of architecture is collaborative and democratic – we want clients and people who use the buildings to have a voice, and to shape the way their building ends up.
Riverside Primary School is a one-and-a-half form entry primary school with a 26 place nursery, located on a challenging and sensitive site centred around a Grade II Listed Victorian London Board School in Southwark. Faced with outdated facilitates and insufficient space, the school required a considered scheme to expand capacity and deliver a modern learning environment for 21st century education.
Working within the constraints of a listed setting, Haverstock developed a holistic proposal, weaving the historic fabric of the existing building with the new build and refurbishment. The pitched-roof design is sympathetic in form and scale to the historic architecture, conserving the historic character and allowing it to remain as the focal point while offering flexible, contemporary facilities.
In addition to delivering full architectural services, we provide a range of complementary expertise to support clients. Our team undertakes strategic feasibility work, acts as client design advisor and technical advisor to give independent guidance, and offers inclusive design consultancy.
We also bring specialist knowledge in heritage and conservation, helping to protect and adapt significant buildings for the future.

Last week, the Haverstock team headed to Cambridge for our annual summer social.
The day offered an opportunity to step away from our desks and spend time together exploring the city, with a visit to kettles yard, some punting along the river Cam, a dip in the lido and a shared meal to round it off.
It was a wonderful chance to celebrate the year so far and enjoy some time together in the sun
