Eynesbury Primary School expresses a strong identity within this new estate of nearly 3000 residents. Our design for the building evolved from the simple rural farm shed, with the built expression of the school engaging through reflection and memory with the rural history that this design resembles. The idea of the ‘urban grain’ is an architectural device which we used to break down the scale of the building.
The original form creates opportunities for flexible interior and exterior learning and collaborative spaces. Pitched forms and dynamic shapes seen on the admin roof continues throughout the whole school. The building’s form is eroded, creating recesses and corners for children to play and giving the school a strong visual identity. Inside, wooden arbors mirror this shape, creating retreat spaces for children to gather.
