Spotted Gum Beauty
The stunning Australian hardwood is seen in the interior and external soffits within the school redevelopment. With clean linear lines on walls and ceilings in the form of Click-on Battens, the timber shines and the warm tones and natural textures are highlighted.

Timber Soffits
A continuum from indoors to outdoors is achieved with our timber Click-on Battens, which lines the majority of ceilings across Cranbrook School, and continue to the soffits outdoors. Creating a seamlessly blending timber expanse.
Spotted Gum is a durable species as well; perfect for the outdoors and also interiors. With lighter and darker honey tones, the natural variation adds to the biophilic benefits within the school environment.



Timber Surrounded Educational Facilities
A major aspect of the redevelopment is the Vicars Centenary Building. Situated near Hordern Oval, it encompasses modern educational facilities, a theatre for dramatic performances, a chapel, and an assembly hall; all designed with a forward-looking approach.

Our guiding principles for the new buildings put people at the heart of the design solutions and make meaningful connections to place.
