Columbia Primary School
A new contemplative space for a primary school in Bethnal Green, East London.
DK-CM worked with the school community to transform an underused room into a space that works as a vital ‘third space’ for staff and pupils as well as providing durable storage for the Friends & Parents group, Friends of Columbia. The project involved extensive collaboration and co-design with the primary pupils.
