IID’s brief was to design an inspirational and innovative new Junior School which is integrated with the landscape and enhances the character of the site. The new building is part single and part two storey with the landscape taken up and over the roof of the single storey elements. This achieves a balance of building volume and form which minimises the adverse visual impact on the open landscape in this area of the site. The extended ‘fingers’ create open courtyards connecting the building into the broader landscape and defining the Junior domain.
