Neill at SRA Architecture has been amazingly professional and supportive throughout, advising on different packages to help budget effectively and offering a service that helps take away a lot of the stress and workload when doing a large renovation project.
SRA were invited to provide a concept scheme for a new dedicated Theatre and Performing Arts Centre for a school in Lincolnshire. The brief requested a new and exciting statement building which would inspire students and show the schools dedication to Performing Arts. It was important that this building provided an advertisement for the school due to its frontal location. Our team worked in close collaboration with each other to produce numerous sketches and ideas, all the while remaining concious of the technical challenges that lay ahead, such as the sheer amount of mechanical plant that would be required in a building of this scale.
As with most of our projects, 2D drawings were first produced before evolving into a detailed 3D model once layouts were finalised. We decided to put our new version of the rendering software into practice and created realistic visualizations of our proposals.
The proposed scheme incorporates large amounts of glazing to fill the building with natural daylight light, along with colourful attractive cladding panels to provide the eye-catching advert. A flat roof has been introduced above the main entrance where mechanical plant equipment can reside, allowing easy access for general maintenance and servicing. Punctured metal cladding has been introduced around the perimeter of this section to obscure the plant machinary, with the school logo incorporated by introducing smaller and more frequent punctures within the paneling.
Although currently a feasibility scheme, the design provides just an insight into the work that our team can undertake and the level of detail and forethought SRA consider, even during the concept stage.

What our clients say...
I found SRA Architecture online as I was looking at purchasing a property and needed input from an Architectural Practice who knows the area. I came across these guys and I was very impressed with the amount of knowledge they had. Neill is very much approachable and goes out of his way to find out all the information, and this in turn gave me the confidence of whether to make the purchase or not – I highly recommend them.
Antony, Residential Client
Highly recommend, Niell at SRA fully appreciated the need to balance the history of the house, conservation area requirements and modern living in the design for our renovation and extension requirements.
Mandy, Residential Client
It is wonderful to see such an excellent facility completed and for it to be able to offer education and childcare to our community.
Richard Wells, Parish Council Chairman
Niell provided me one of the most professional services I have received. The quality of service was outstanding, Niell answered the phone every time and answered any questions I had the same day whether by email or phone. The plot I was looking at was also of a beautiful design. I would confidently recommend anyone to use SRA Architecture.
Carl, Residential Client
In my opinion, the best Architectural services in Lincoln. SRA completed amendments to our planning application and incorporated the redesign of 8 houses. The application was immediately approved which has avoided costly delays. The new house design has added value to the project and will provide much better use of the space. SRA have my highest recommendation for projects both large and small.
