The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) had a long-standing ambition to transfer their operations from a very inefficient, constrained heritage building in Battersea to a new building in the same area.
This project is the result of CEO Sir Luke Rittner鈥檚 vision of a cleverly articulated deal to swap sites with a developer who would also provide significant fit-out funding. The RAD鈥檚 new home is the ground floor of a new residential tower on a main thoroughfare. The spaces were originally intended as a large-scale retail unit, and the structural walls, columns, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services routes were predefined for the building above.
Takero Shimazaki Architects have masterfully reimagined them as a network of spacious indoor streets and plazas that elegantly define the public and private activities taking place and demystify the RAD鈥檚 work.
