Terip Terip Schoolhouse

The tactic here was deference without subservience. The new form should not overwhelm the beautifully ornate and intact original building, yet have a character of its own.
When our clients included a Breezeway and a Quadrangle in their initial plan we almost couldn’t control our delight.
The new addition is a concrete block homage to school toilet blocks, with timber lining to the quadrangle and a pitched roof matching the original building form.
Our desire was that the new sits lower than the existing and the Breezeway sits under the original eaves line.
