Chelsea College of Arts

Occupying the site and buildings of the former Royal Army Medical College on Millbank, this project creates a consolidated campus for today's Chelsea College of Arts, relocating them from four sites across West London. The colonisation of the existing buildings exploits their intrinsic robustness to accommodate equipment including looms, easels and printmaking tables in a series of linked rooms. New buildings meanwhile extend to these spaces, providing purpose-built workshops for activities ranging from woodwork to metalwork, while reorganising and clarifying circulation routes.
