St. John’s Lutheran Primary School

The school needed two new classrooms to replace a temporary classroom. A master plan was developed for the whole school. The library was an infill space that created lots of internal gutters prone to leaking. The design replaced this with an internal garden increasing light and fresh air to the adjacent classrooms.

The two new classrooms were designed to maximise north sunlight and create a wind-protected courtyard for the senior students’ use. The construction is a prefabricated laminated timber frame, SIP infill walls and a concrete slab for thermal mass. Lots of natural materials, natural light, and fresh air.

Two classrooms are converted into new STEAM rooms for Art & Technology explorations. These classrooms spill out into the new courtyard to extend the teaching spaces to the outside environment.
