Birralee Primary School / Kerstin Thompson Architects

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Birralee Primary School is testament to what architecture can do to enhance the enjoyment of the day-to-day activities of a school community. This project strategically reconfigures a 1960’s LTC to create a more delightful sequence of indoor and outdoor play and learning spaces. An extremely limited budget demanded design precision in choosing what to add, adapt and retain to improve the overall experience for students, teachers and parents. Here the role of architecture is less about elaborate detailing and flamboyant gestures and more about a subtle series of spatial restructuring/interventions to provide a coherent campus and enable a broader range of activities, which align with the school’s pedagogic aspirations.

The Wertheim Factory (1909) is a listed building of historic significance. Its redevelopment by Lend Lease introduces a mixture of residential, community and retail use into this substantial brick building, originally designed by Nahum Barnet and previously the home of the Wertheim piano factory, Heinz and GTV Nine.

Jonathan Alarcón — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Taking its cues from agricultural buildings in the surrounding farmland, this home presents as a prosaic hayshed from afar. Within this simple skillion form is housed a calm rural retreat.

House at Big Hill / Kerstin Thompson Architects

Jonathan Alarcón — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

This house celebrates the shadow in the making of home. It continues kta’s interest in dark space, the heightened sense of intimacy and mystery for domestic life that this affords and the retreat it provides from the harsh Australian sun.

Carrum Downs Police Station / Kerstin Thompson Architects

Rodrigo Frey — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

The Carrum Downs Police Station is the third and largest in a series we have completed for the Victoria Police. As the next link in a civic network of modest buildings for this organisation it continues our earlier interest in the localization of a generic brief and the opportunity that a conventional project might present for a degree of innovation.
