2024 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Heretaunga Intermediate School
The innovative new technology block at Heretaunga Intermediate School captivates with its ingenious fusion of functionality and aesthetics. Cleverly sited, the building seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape, affording a strong axial connection between indoors and outdoors. The design considers the environment as an extension of the learning space, facilitating interdisciplinary connections in science, woodworking, music, art, and culinary arts. A continuous verandah envelops the building, offering solar and weather protection while encouraging outdoor engagement. The exterior's vibrant colour scheme, mirroring hues within the educational hubs, elevates the structure's visual appeal.
