2017 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Kāiti School, Wharekauri - New Classrooms
Taking cues from existing classroom blocks and responding to the strong community connection to the school, this project accommodates changing pedagogy by creating a flexible learning space that has been embraced by those who teach and learn in it. The exterior sits comfortably in its surrounds, and references the school's history while anticipating its next phase of development. Clever and considered use of every square metre provides an uncluttered, highly usable and adaptable space. Well thought-out detailing and construction methods minimised waste in order to maximise learning areas.
