dRMM’s Wintringham Primary Academy embraces principles of naturalness to provide an inspirational learning environment that prioritises wellbeing and sustainability. The building’s cross laminated timber (CLT) frame is exposed throughout, providing a calm, natural environment to aid concentration and learning. The £11million school is a key building in the emerging community at Wintringham Park, a 2800-home greenfield extension to the Cambridgeshire town of St Neots led by master-developer Urban+Civic.

Eaton Socon preschool is a charity that provides early years education for children in a deprived area of Cambridgeshire. Originally housed in two aged and uncomfortable portacabins, the client required the new building to contain three large classrooms set within a spacious environment. The budget was tiny, with funding sourced from donations, fundraising and local government. Funding issues meant that the programme was protracted, and while construction took only eight months, the entire process took four years.
