Ripon College is a seminal Anglican theological college located just south east of Oxford.

The original buildings were designed by G.E. Street in 1853 and are grade II* listed. We responded to a rapidly changing brief on this historic site located within the green belt. The new building increases the teaching and accommodation facilities available, but are carefully composed to minimize their visual impact and retain views from and onto the listed structures.

Limestone, glass and oak were used to form these unashamedly contemporary additions that contributed positively to the fine architectural heritage.
