Design response
Our design prioritised functionality and harmony with surroundings. Drawing inspiration from the neighbouring Bella Vista Public School’s H-form building, we conceptualised rectilinear modules to address site-specific issues.
We retained the rear block as single-storey to reduce bulk and ensure harmony with neighbouring buildings.
The composition creates a heavily articulated facade, both visually striking from the street and internally.
Child-centred concept
To create a welcoming and playful environment for children:
- We meticulously designed for natural light and cross-ventilation in every playroom.
- The rectilinear modules act as acoustic barriers to minimise noise, ensuring a calm and focused atmosphere for learning and play.
- The middle module connects fluidly to the central outdoor play area.

Innovative interiors
To create an environment that feels safe and familiar for children:
- We repeated motifs of the home throughout; the shape appears in joinery elements and on the walls and ceilings.
- We used warm timbers and low-height soffits for a cosy atmosphere.
