2022 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Whitby Collegiate Classroom Pavilion
Utilising a marginal piece of shaded, sloping land, the architects have created a classroom with a warm timbered verandah that links the main campus with the field and paved area below. The building appears as a simple shed with double height glulam columns that anchor the building to the ground. The shed is a timber swathed pavilion against a backdrop of bush. Inside, the three modest spaces can open into each other providing a level of flexibility. Natural materials and quiet colours are used to reinforce a calm and tranquil environment.
