Kirk Balk Community College, Barnsley, England : Hoyland Building

Community College Barnsley, northern England, UK - design by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris

28 Jun 2012 Kirk Balk Community College Hoyland Design: Allford Hall Monaghan Morris RIBA Awards 2012 Citation: Kirk Balk Community College, Hoyland, Barnsley Aware of the wilful form-making that has characterised a large number of Building Schools for the Future projects, the architects proposed a solution that comprised of two simple geometric forms, a triangle and a rectangle. In the wrong hands this approach could have been leaden, here it is endlessly subtle. photos © Timothy Soar The sloping hilltop site is cleverly used to generate complex, often top-lit, interior spaces with exceptional views. This is all enabled by the large space at the centre of the triangular form which gives a very high level of visual inter-connectedness.
