The extensions to the chapel at Radley College in Oxford offer a masterclass in modern architectural design. Designed by Purcell, they sit comfortably with this historic building, while at the same time being clearly new interventions.Â
The primary objective of the project was to increase the chapel’s capacity to meet the college’s growing intake. The chapel functions as a core part of school life, with pupils and staff attending every evening. While expanding its capacity, the architects have also managed to position a new organ in its original location and improve the chapel’s acoustics.Â
