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.

Barwon Heads is in a period of significant change. Heritage overlays currently protect older fishing shacks whilst the less significant fabric of the seaside town is progressively being redeveloped. Architecture is now significantly contributing to the evolution of this small coastal township, and in this case a young family engaged us to design their new permanent residence which would replace a dilapidated 1950’s two storey house that was beyond repair.
