HOBART CITY COUNCIL HORTICULTURAL TRAINING SCHOOL MORNINGTON TASMANIA
HOBART CITY COUNCIL REQUIRED TO EXPAND THEIR HORTICULTURAL TEACHING FACILITIES AT THEIR MORNINGTON SITE.
THEY PUT FORWARD THE IDEA TO REUSE TWO EXISTING TERRAPIN BUILDINGS AND PURCHASE ONE MORE TO RENOVATE AND CONVERT AS TEACHING SPACES.
AFTER CAREFUL ASSESSMENT OF THE SITE AND THE PROPOSED REUSE OF THE TERRAPINS, IT WAS PUT FORWARD TO ONLY REUSE THE TWO EXISTING TERRAPINS AND DESIGN A PURPOSE BUILT STRUCTURE THAT WOULD BETTER SERVE THEIR REQUIREMENTS.
A QUICK THUMBNAIL CONCEPT SKETCH WAS IMMEDIATELY EMBRACED BY THE CLIENT, AN ARCHITECT HIMSELF, AND THE RESULTANT DESIGN WAS A SERIES FORWARD LEAPS WITH ALIGNED DESIGN.
A NEAR FULLY TIMBER BUILDING WAS DESIGNED UTILIZING WHAT WAS THEN NEW TECHNOLOGY OF GLUE LAMINATED FINGER JOINTED RECYCLED TIMBER.
OPEN WALKWAYS CONNECTING THE BUILDINGS AND A LARGE DECK TO ALLOW THE CLASSROOMS TO EXTEND TO OUTDOOR TEACHING.
