Aspendale Gardens Primary School
2017 | Aspendale Gardens, Victoria | Education
In the case of Aspendale Gardens Primary School, our response was inspired by the School’s most precious asset – the beloved Vegetable Garden.
Beginning with a series of vibrant Visioning Workshops, we kicked off the design process by providing sessions that were pivotal in uniting the community.
The Garden would come to embody the community’s values and aspirations for the new school – nurturing and pedagogy, exploratory learning opportunities and indoor-outdoor connections.
A garden aesthetic is brought to life, suspended acoustic clouds providing students a sense of wonderment and connection to the outdoors despite being imbedded in the heart of the plan. The voice of the students called for a colour palette reflective of what could be found in the garden; this being contemplative, cosy and calm with elements of “the Wild”.
