Perched on a precarious yet prominent site in West Hobart, the new wing of Lansdowne Crescent Primary peeks over the old to capture sweeping views of the Eastern Shore, while creating a strong connection from the old to the new, between each building and from the street into the heart of the site.
Forming a new, generous set of staff amenities, four large flexible learning spaces complimented by two quiet spaces, and an extensive landscaping plan that provides a varied connection between buildings and the street and a range of engaging interstitial spaces, the new buildings will allow a contemporary approach to learning, where students have consistent engagement with the environment and with their community.
