2022 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
Whitby Collegiate Classroom Pavilion
A small-scale intervention within an existing school successfully uses the contours of the site to make it appear bigger than it really is. Simple forms and typologies have been deployed to meet the brief and budget constraints. The pièce de résistance of the scheme is the two-level loggia fronting the playing fields, providing a respite from classroom activity and a sheltered space that can be used in many ways. Interior spaces are beautifully detailed and handled in ways not typically seen in education projects; there’s warmth and delight in the materials and craft in how they’ve been put together.
