BRIEF The college wanted a cover that would cover the whole playground and circulation area, allowing undercover access from buildings on both sides. The cover had to exceed the height of the 4 storey classroom block to prevent interruption to sight lines and had to incorporate design features relating to the existing architecture.
OUTCOME The Greenline curved ridge COLA that stands 15m high, now allows school routine to continue regardless of the weather. Curved support bracing stiffens the structure and adds visual interest. Combined with LED lighting and stormwater plumbing, this is an impressive structure in anyone’s view.
