This project envisions the relocation and redesign of St Michael’s C of E Primary School in Oxford to a new greenfield site that is prone to flooding. In response to the climate crisis and in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the design focuses on resilience, low-carbon strategies, and the needs of both the school and the wider community. The vision is to create an “Urban Forest” – a nature-rich, immersive environment featuring elevated timber buildings, diverse biodiversity, and adaptable spaces that can be used by both students and local residents. With a focus on passive design, sustainable materials, and advanced performance modelling, the school is designed to be comfortable, flexible, and environmentally responsible for the long term.
