Open Practice Architecture

Open Practice Architecture was established in 2011 to create innovative contemporary architecture across a wide range of sectors. As a practice we have a particular interest in the public realm and seek to design evocative and engaging places for the whole community. We have extensive experience in education projects including mainstream, special needs and early years. Prominent in our work is exploring how technology can be used to better understand the affect of the classroom environment on children's behaviour. The core team at OPA, led by founder Rupert Scott is enhanced by Nick Flesher (educationalist) and Richard Scott (architect and critic), who bring their experience and expertise to projects of any scale.
