Occasionally we are blessed with a Client who is committed to invest in the process of research when undertaking a new building typology. If time and capital are available, it is a great way to ensure all parties in the process are informed on the latest thinking. There are lessons to be learnt on every project and we are thankful to visit various facilities around the country to understand challenges and opportunities before undertaking the detailed design process. We are particularly thankful to the operators, whom can sometimes offer the most incite to the successes and hindsight thoughts.
The nature of our research focused on student boarding facilities, with a particular interest in facilities with integrated indigenous programs.
We are thankful to our client - Nambour Christian College and the following organisations who generously opened their doors. They provided their time and thoughtful comments which will assist us to design a exceptional facility.
Dalby Christian College - QLD
Macquarie Anglican Grammar School - NSW
Wesley College - VIC
Clontarf Aboriginal College, WA
St. Catherine’s College, WA
We look forward to compiling the research material and presenting the findings to the stakeholders involved. We look forward to the possibility of sharing this knowledge in some form in the future.
