This proposal begins with the silhouette of a Federation Home, which is then scaled up, extruded, and sliced to create a bold, contemporary interpretation. The building’s front may evoke the atmosphere of a haunted house, while the central extrusion draws inspiration from a Shinto Shrine, and the rear, which connects to the school's ovals, recalls the form of a Big Top—if you squint just right. The design prioritizes thoughtful planning and site integration, with northern courtyards positioned to bring natural light into the ground-floor classrooms. Upstairs, the corridor is cleverly reconfigured to minimize overlooking of the neighboring property.

The Grade 5 classrooms on the ground floor feature rich, deep colors and an earthy ambiance, creating an immersive, grounded environment. On the first floor, the design takes on a more ethereal quality, with a shape reminiscent of Utzon’s Bagsvaerd Church, where the complex silhouette softens into a cloudlike form. The extruded chimney not only adds a striking architectural element but also serves a functional purpose, providing natural light and aiding in the ventilation of the classroom spaces.
