Biassono Primary School
The project for the new primary school in Biassono reimagines the educational environment as an open and inclusive civic space, capable of fostering learning, social interaction, and community life.

Swan Hill Specialist School
Swan Hill Specialist School is an educational hub on the lands of the Wamba Wamba, Latji Latji, Tatti Tatti, Wadi Wadi and Barapa Barapa peoples in the Murray region of Victoria. During the planning stages of the project, the foremost priority of the school administration was expanding the project of 'inclusion' and focusing on 'ability' rather than disability. Tying in with student achievements in sports and hospitality, the school is regularly the host of local community events, with the student-run cafe/kitchen a staple of the community schedule. Thus, one of the primary ambitions of the masterplan was to re-establish the school as a social landmark within the Swan Hill community.

The design proposal aims to contextualise the proposed Block A in its suburban setting by incorporating familiar domestic archetypes of the front porch and the verandah into circulation spaces and thresholds. The majority of the spaces are consolidated under a single roof which pitches north and south in deference to the neighbourhood street and to avoid overshadowing existing hardcourt play areas....

Puerto Varas School and Kindergarten
Situated on a slope with views of Puerto Varas and surrounded by the Andes Mountains, featuring volcanoes and Llanquihue Lake, the Puerto Varas School Kindergarten was designed as an engaging educational space where the architecture serves as a dynamic teacher. Rooted in the school's founding principle "every space educates" we aimed to embody this concept in a three-dimensional environment of exploration, enjoyment, and community, transforming how early learning settings can foster wellbeing, independence, and a bond with nature.

Lester Community Center
The new Lester Community Center in Memphis’s Binghampton neighborhood reimagines a historic community anchor as a vibrant, future-facing hub. Known as the place where NBA legend Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway grew up playing—and later coached—basketball, Lester is a symbol of local pride and opportunity.

Design ConceptInspired by church vernacular, the design reflects the spiritual role community centers play in neighborhoods. The gymnasium’s pitched roof evokes a traditional nave, while dynamic rooflines, bold yellow accents, and playful window patterns create an identity that is instantly recognizable and welcoming.
