The new Highgate Primary School Classrooms immerse the students in a creative environment that is anchored to the surrounding context, creating new relationships and ways of seeing their environment. The building offers a variety of scales of experience from distant views of the city to intimate classroom experiences. Light, colour and pattern are developed as educational tools, extending the classroom curriculum to the built environment. The building is a microcosm of the city, responding to the diverse, multi-cultural students, allowing occupants to find a place and space of preference.
