Hopkins Architects

The project for the collaboration between Newton and Arkwright was designed by Hopkins Architects. Here is a link to their website http://www.hopkins.co.uk/projects/2/113/ . These similar aesthetics and design layouts of the building are used throughout most of the buildings that are part of Nottingham Trent University. In my opinion, I think it would be great if we integrate similar design principles onto the music centre so that it shows to the public that it is part of NTU. Here are some images of some the the design layouts and materials we could use onto the redesign of the music centre. 

Glass walls on the front of the music studios, to allows for people to look through and notice music being played. Also give an indication of an active music centre. 

This types of wooden cladding above could be used in the entrance or inside the recording studios.

Cladding

We can still keep the stone work on the walls, but have plain brickwork or stonework with no paint. To create a rustic/modern feel inside the building.
