Selected Project
Motueka High School
This is a new 2-storey mass timber teaching block for the Ministry of Education. The design is an evolution of the blocks we designed for Waimea College, implementing lessons learnt and maximising the efficiency of a mass timber structure for this typology in Aotearoa. The Ministry’s brief was to follow the ‘Waimea’ model to show how it can be adapted to different situations. This model allows for standard and specialist teaching spaces to be repeated in a linear manner, while allowing for a degree of flexibility regarding openings between classrooms. E.g. the whole floor could operate as one large open-plan environment if the school’s pedagogy requires this. In this instance the school required individual classrooms
