Workshops

NOTES: This design dates from between 1961 and 1964.

NOTES: This is one of four branches of Olivetti offices, built at the same time to a similar design in the cities of Carlisle, Belfast, Derby and Dundee. All of the metal surfaces, including girders, radiators and trunking were painted bright colours, although varying from office to office. Usually a combination of emerald green, bright blue and bright red was employed. The roofs were a bright yellow plastic, although the one at Belfast was considered too orange and was replaced with a grey one.

NOTES: C. H. Aslin was County Architect for Hertfordshire from 1945 to 1958 and headed its pioneering school-building programme. Located near a large jet aircraft factory and landing ground, the construction of this school presented a special insulation problem. It was overcome by using minimum glazing on the elevations facing the noise, keeping the buildings low and using lawns as sound absorbent surfaces.

NOTES: Stowe School was created in 1923 as an independent public school for boys and occupies the great house and grounds of Stowe. The house, designed by Robert Adam and completed in 1774, was modified to accommodate staff and boys by Clough Williams-Ellis. This is one of several additions to the school.
