Huntingtower

Mount Waverley, Victoria, AUS

Custom u-shaped, rectangular pendants are scattered across the foyer ceiling to suggest a theatrical ambience. The vertical stems of the pendants and the variety of configurations emphasise the verticality of the space and showcase the voluminous expanse.

The impressive, drum-shaped building is delicately nestled within the existing school surrounds yet is quietly pronounced through clever artificial lighting integration and the celebration of the architectural materiality.  

Linear profiles are carefully orchestrated within the building’s fabric to provide functional illumination to a curved staircase and a beautiful backdrop through the translucent façade.
