The Reading Retreat, a quiet area of sanctuary within the playground of Stoneydown Park Primary School, co-designed by Zoë Berman of Studio Berman and Bennedetta Rogers of Studio ROST, was shortlisted for the AJ Small Projects 2019.
The award showcases schemes built for £250,00 or less; the Reading Retreat cost £20,000 and was selected for its ‘clever use of colour to accent space’ and ‘canny’ use of low-cost materials.
