Plumpton College

This architectural project has transformed the college’s old and tired facilities helping it to gain national and international recognition. From our initial concept design we secured the commission with the college and in collaboration with a local architect’s practice based near Brighton we completed the project. The rolling wave-like sedum “Green” roof reflects the rolling hills of the nearby Sussex Downs and help to break up the mass of the double height winery building behind. Air source heat pumps supply the building’s underfloor heating and hot water system.

Quotes and Client Testimonials

"Superb advice and support - recommended Elmstone have supporting and working with Northwood House Charitable Trust for the past three years - in that time their technical expertise, support and advice has been exemplary. During this time major projects have included the restoration of the Rotunda car park and walls, extensive roof works and a major structural project to support the main ceiling and central building core. Their innovative design has now been put forward for an RIBA award and their eventual solution was 70% less that other designs. Recently Elmstone were the consulting engineers on the first phase of the 300 year old main barn project - designing the entire framework and overseeing the successful project. We are now working on Phase 2 of the HLF bid for the restoration of the iconic Grade II Church Lodge - having successfully submitted phase one. Elmstone have driven and supported the entire listed Building consent process. Tim Wander - Major Projects Manager - Northwood House Charitable Trust."- Yell Review 2
