Description
Monbulk Primary School has had a significant history following its establishment in 1887. The school’s presence within the Monbulk region is characterised by long standing community connections that are multi-generational and proud of its unique context.
Kosloff Architecture developed a masterplan for Monbulk Primary School, that sought to reflect their pedagogical approach of creating discrete learning neighbourhoods, woven together by a variety of landscape spaces including kitchen gardens, competition outdoor courts, outdoor teaching and learning and extensive nature play.
Two new buildings were delivered following, including a senior teaching, and learning facility complete with food technology spaces, and a new administration building that provided a new entry to the school. The existing 1913 heritage building was also repurposed to provide junior teaching and learning spaces and a new school library.
The senior teaching and learning building references elements of the existing heritage building, both formally and through materiality. The facility looks to create an occupiable façade where children can sit, play games, and socialise.
The administration building floats upon a galvanised skirt that navigates the undulating terrain typical of this campus. Sculptured around a newly planted tree, the shadows from the surrounding landscape shift and change during the day as the sun moves across the sky.
