Project Overview

The Lennon Centre (Performing Arts) is the first of many projects undertaken for Northholm Grammar School from our inception through to the present day.

The architectural response we developed adopts simple modular forms together with the site-specific context of climate, and the Australian traditional rural vernacular. We believe this combination of 'modernist' ethos brought together with the local context provides a sophisticated response for education outside the city, by taking the most positive elements of both to create healthy learning environments that respond to climate.

"The Lennon Centre was the first stage of the original Master Plan. It not only meets all the parameters of a state of the art education facility but has been designed with an insightful appreciation of our rural setting as well as a wider vision of sustainability into the future"
