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.

The difference between music and noise is partly how we feel when we hear it. Similarly, the way people respond to an indoor space is based on sensory qualities such as colour, texture, shapes, scents and sound.
