EDUCATION
Omagh school is county’s first Integrated Education Campus
TODD Architects have completed Omagh Integrated Primary & Nursery School. The £7m new build Omagh IPS, combined with the adjacent existing Drumragh College, forms the first Integrated Education Campus serving the Tyrone region. The new addition marks a major milestone for the school and local community, as they have been campaigning for this new building for 30 years.
The architects engaged with the
school’s principal, teachers and parents to create the most effective, efficient, sustainable design to facilitate
flexible teaching needs and to suit its rural context. The school comprises 14 classrooms
for over 330 students. Located on a greenfield site on the outskirts of Omagh town, both primary and nursery school benefit from a new access road, cycle path, car and bus parking with dedicated drop-off provision. Teaching areas are complemented by generous hard and soft play areas with a central sheltered courtyard and associated landscaping. Internally a resource area provides a key node point to each corner of the courtyard, with access to an
accompanying multipurpose hall and dining facilities. The new build addition comprises a
single-storey pitched roof design which provides cross ventilation and dual aspect natural daylighting to classrooms. The multi-purpose hall and preschool resource rooms are expressed as higher volumes, given their variable purposes. The inner landscaped courtyard offers
a multi-use flexible space with low maintenance landscape features, which can offer class groups a sheltered external resource and learning area.
HOSPITALITY Bankside vegan restaurant refurbished
Emrys Architects have finished the refurbishment of popular vegetarian and vegan restaurant, Tibits in Bankside, London. A full refurbishment of the ground floor of the Grade II Listed Victorian mansion block, and a new glass extension into the rear courtyard, “sets the scene for a unique, healthy dining experience,” said the architects. Together with German-Swiss architect
Oberholzer & Brüschweiler, Emrys were approached to re-think the look and feel of the restaurant while retaining key design elements of the existing brand. The result is “a vibrant and ambient space with a warm and lively palette of finishes,” located just a short walk from the Tate Modern. The interior of the former retail unit was stripped back to the original brickwork to achieve the industrial character which is an intrinsic part of the brand. Colourful wallpapers, bespoke artwork, textured fabrics and soft lighting were then added to balance the industrial edge of the space and bring ambience to the restaurant. The new garden extension into the existing rear courtyard of the building maximises space and accommodates the main seating area. Made primarily of glass, the structure allows maximum light to penetrate the space, giving the impression

of eating outside, and allowing a view of the tree tops and sky above. Central to the floor plan is the restaurant’s iconic ‘food boat,’ featured in all Tibits restaurants, which displays the food buffet and acts as a focal point. A compact but efficiently designed kitchen is discretely located on the lower ground floor level. Customer toilets on this level are characterised by boldly decorated traditional cement tiles and a bespoke concrete trough style sink. A homely private dining room catering for larger parties is also located on the lower ground floor.
