A new Building for Syndal South Primary School in Victoria for the VSBA with Administrative offices, Junior Classrooms and Library.

Taking design cues from its suburban context, the building straddles domestic and civic scales and re-interprets cornerstones from the home and the neighbourhood into an education typology.

Public facing areas are scaled generously for social gathering, while learning and working areas are porous and scaled intimately for focus. Bookending the entry forecourt, the school funded Library pavilion greets visitors and is flexible for both its roles as quiet reading spaces during school hours and open community hub after.

Completed 2024
