This building is situated on a sloping site and therefore has a large underfloor storage area, plus large balconies surrounding the 3 sides of the building.

Nuriootpa Primary School Early Works Roof Replacement

An interesting structure, the Nuriootpa Primary School main building is approximately round with a mix of 20 even and un-even edges. This means that all the individual roof sheets taper out from the centre of the building to form a wedge.

This Design & Construct BER project was for a new 1100 square metre multi purpose hall and OHSC area. The project included the construction of a large retaining wall to accommodate the relocation of three transportable buildings.

Nuriootpa Primary School Redevelopment

A logical challenge, the Nuriootpa Primary School Redevelopment remained an operational site all the way through the project. This was achieved by breaking the works down into multiple stages whilst maintaining close collaboration and communication with the School Administration. Importantly, this allowed for large-scale construction to take place over a sizeable duration while minimising the impact of construction on the learning facility. Involved in this project was the construction of 3 new COLA’s (Covered Outdoor Learning Area), along with a refurbishment of the entire main building including a refurbishment of all General Learning Areas’, classrooms, existing library, music room and common areas, along with the construction of a new Administration Building incorporated into the original main structure.

Immanuel Lutheran School Gawler – Classroom Renovations

This project for Immanuel Gawler involved an extensive refurbishment and alteration of the existing stone and double brick building which incorporated a gymnasium and multiple classrooms. Many of the internal double brick walls used for partitioning classrooms from the gymnasium area were deleted, as such extensive propping during demolition was utilised before installing a substantial structural steel package to provide support across the deleted sections of structural walling. Once structurally supported, these new openings saw the fitting of substantial glass partitioning with incorporated large glass sliding doors, along with double glazing to exterior windows achieving the feel of a large open atrium area, whilst still providing effective natural lighting and acoustic properties to classroom.

The arched ceiling offers a soft transition between wall and roof to assist in allowing the feeling of sharing a meal in the vines themselves whilst still offering the protection an indoor eating experience gives.
