The creative community of Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast required a performance and music rehearsal space.
With this development, we visually wrapped piano keys over the existing structure of the building, forming a multi-functional creative studio and recording space. Adaptable louvres were installed to maximise cross ventilation throughout the space and shading devices were place selectively to act as sun protection.
This was a very successful integration of an existing building and a passive ventilation, symbolic expressed design that is now used by the local community for various functions including rehearsal and recording. Courtesy of Complete Urban.

PREP FACILITY
The client requested a two classroom prep facility for pre-school children with central service such as kitchen and art room spaces. Outside, we provided spaces that includes play equipment and sand pits under a sail roofed areas. The roofed sails were modelled and placed in such a way to provide maximum protection from the sun during play times.
The building is a very simple and functional form that became an asset for the school to accommodate pre-school kids. The design support spaces flowing from the inside of the two large classrooms to the outside play area, while sharing the functional central spaces.
Although the outside space is fenced and separated from the remainder of the school, it is visually well connected with the rest of the school. Courtesy of Elevation Architecture Studio
