Selected Project
Northcote Intermediate School
Pacific Environments were originally engaged by the Ministry of Education to put an eight-classroom block on site. The constrained nature of the existing site led to a master planning exercise with the Ministry of Education to properly look at the long-term development on the site. The staff and students were engaged in the project from an early stage they were invited to participate in design workshops which ultimately inspired the design. The Educational Brief was discussed at these sessions and hands-on designs were done by all involved. The use of pre-cast exterior panels allowed the design team a further opportunity to involve the school, community, and iwi with the project’s distinctive waharoa panel patterns being designed by a local graphic designer Aaron Hall.
