Guy Hollaway Architects designed the competition-winning scheme for the new concert hall at Benenden School nearCranbrook in Kent. The project, completed in 2021, delivered a new combined concert hall; school hall and music department.

The new school hall has a capacity of 750. The Concert Hall includes a 150 seat recital hall and digital media suites. This development, the largest in the school’s history, achieves the combination of brick and natural stone, in the form of Aztec Rainscreen with stunning success.

The honed Jura Limestone angled soffits give the windows a superiority as well as realising more light into the building. Areas of the large panel 1200x450mm rainscreen achieve a modern look on this prestigious development.
