One can have reservations about those gold shingles. But young children might love their glittery school, made of two Victorian school buildings. The roofscape brings everything together, peaking over a new infant school extension. Inside are nicely-proportioned, well-lit spaces with timber soffits and a variety of teaching spaces rather than standard modules. Roof spans increase according to the age of the children. The judges said: ‘This is an assured building from a hitherto little known practice packed with architectural ideas.’ We look forward to hearing more of Hayhurst.
