Charred timber, filtered light, and soft landscape contours revive a once-colonial edge. The building opens to Country, framing green space and inviting renewal through shadow, structure, and land.
Light descends through the building in drifting layers, filtered by timber and voids, touching every level as it moves from sky to ground, weaving country and interior into one continuity.
Dappled light moves through timber screens, casting shifting patterns across warm plywood walls. The open classrooms fold and unfold, shaped by sunlight, structure, and the generosity of permeable space.
Light washes through the sloping roof and open voids, carrying sound and sightlines between spaces. Every level remains visually connected, forming one continuous environment shaped by movement and shared presence.
An exploded construction axonometric reveals the building’s layered timber system; charred screens, glulam structure, rafters, and insulated roof, showing how each element contributes to a protective structure connected to Country.
Following the site’s natural slope, timber volumes and darkened screens layer horizontally across the landscape, creating a softened elevation that bridges the ground’s descent and the surrounding rigid campus edges.
