Studio Ashby takes on the iconic Bluecoat National Trust Building as their Architecture and Design Studio

Studio Ashby takes on the iconic Bluecoat National Trust Building as their Architecture and Design Studio. 

A stone’s throw from St James’s Park, nestled in a rare skyscraper-less clearing on Caxton street in Victoria sits the Blewcoat School and the new home to Studio Ashby and Sister by Studio Ashby. Built in 1709 as a school for the underprivileged, it’s today owned by the National Trust and new Landlord to Studio Ashby. A magnificent, elegant, Grade I listed building and we consider it our great honour to borrow it for our next chapter.

Studio Ashby instructed Stephen Kane & Company to advise on the acquisition of the stunning Blewcoat Building. As a National Trust owned building and Grade I listed status, there were a number of different moving parts to consider in acquiring this exquisite piece of architecture.
