Clay Architecture is a private architectural practice based in the Medway area of Kent, England. The firm traces its roots to the George Clay Partnership, an architects’ practice founded in Gravesend in 1904; it was taken over in 2000 by architects Kasan Goh and Camilla Prizeman, who renamed it Clay Architecture.[1] Clay Architecture Limited was incorporated as a private company on 20 March 2003.[2]
The company’s registered office (and design studio) is at Great Lines Studios on Marlborough Road in Gillingham, Kent. This studio is housed in a converted 1930s Royal Air Force “British Concrete Federation” hut on the edge of the Great Lines Heritage Park in Gillingham.[3]
Notable works
[edit]- Walderslade Primary School, Chatham (2012): A new one-form-entry primary school building on a constrained urban site. This project won the Kent Design & Development Award (Public Buildings – Education category) in 2012.[4]
- Medway Crematorium, Chatham (2014): An extension and refurbishment of the 1959 Chatham crematorium for Medway Council. Clay Architecture was the architect for this project. The scheme (budget ~£2.3M) earned the RIBA South East regional architecture award in 2014.[5]
- Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope, Sevenoaks (2006): A combined museum, library and gallery centre. Clay Architecture carried out a radical extension and remodelling of the existing Kaleidoscope building in Sevenoaks, completed in 2006.[6]
- Danecourt School Extension, Chatham (circa 2012): A new foundation and Key Stage 1 wing for Danecourt Special School (for children with moderate learning difficulties) in Gillingham. The design features classrooms arranged around a central courtyard.[7]
- Gravesend Borough Market, Gravesend (2016): Refurbishment and modernization of the historic covered market (chartered 1268, rebuilt 1897). The 2016 scheme provided 21 permanent stalls, 30 temporary stalls, a café/food court and improved facilities in the old market hall. The project conserved period details (reintroducing natural light, new roof and services) while revitalizing the market as a community shopping and events space.[8]
- Gravesend Library (Carnegie Library), Gravesend (2011): Conservation and fit-out of the 106-year-old Grade II listed Andrew Carnegie library in Gravesend town centre.[9]
Awards and recognition
[edit]Clay Architecture’s work has been recognized in regional architecture and design awards. In addition to the RIBA award for Medway Crematorium in 2014, the Walderslade Primary School design won the Kent Design & Development Award (Public Buildings – Education) in 2012.[4] Several of the practice’s projects (such as Gravesend Library[9] and Sevenoaks Kaleidoscope[6]) have also been featured in professional publications and listed in RIBA and industry reports.
