St Joseph’s Primary by dKO Architecture

BY

August 16th, 2011

The Federal Government’s BER has facilitated a number of outstanding educational projects, among them dKO’s work on St Joseph’s Primary School in Melbourne’s Collingwood.

 

The project team of Koos de Keijzer, Zvonko Orsanic and Hannah Jonasson were commissioned to design the student library and surrounding facilities.

 

The result is a dynamic environment which encourages student interaction, while also accommodating quiet study areas.

Extensive storage options have been accommodated into the fit-out.

 

Quality of light and an intelligent use of space are integral to the design.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
