Loburn School Library

Our brief was to create a library space which was light and vibrant, invigorating the learning experience. To achieve this our designer Craig South chose a vibrant palate of colour which was selected from the school site and school colours. Citric orange walls indicate the entrance and librarian spaces and an electric blue bulkhead and carpet slices the space in two, creating an enclosure to the reading zone and enhancing the openness to the adjacent learning area. A large circular up-lit desk is opposed by a smaller red disk formed in a heavy red pile carpet in the centre of the library defining a smaller lounging space and softening the modernist lines of the space.

The space is further divided by vertical display columns and walls are lined with muted coloured pin boards providing areas where students can display their work to ‘stamp’ their mark on the library and to provide their own colour.

Welcome to our award winning architectural and interior design practice.

Led by Craig South, our friendly professional team is dedicated to crafting for uniqueness and producing carefully considered architecture that will endure and be loved.

At South Architects, every project has a unique story. This story starts and ends with our clients, whose values and aspirations fundamentally empower and inspire our whole design process.

Working together with our clients is pivotal to how we operate and we share a passion for innovation in design.

We invite you to meet us and explore what we can do for you. As you will discover, our client focussed process is thorough, robust and responsive.

We see architecture as the culmination of a journey with you. As we get to know you, so we begin the design process that responds with creativity and flair to your ideas and requirements. Our journey together is also shaped by awareness of the environment and location, with all elements working harmoniously together to create beautiful and functional architecture.

We understand that the experience of designing a new home is a life changing journey and we seek to make the experience as stress-free and fun as possible by celebrating milestones along the way and keeping you well-informed on progress.We look forward to meeting you, working alongside you and sharing in your journey.
