Te Raekura Redcliffs School is an exciting new primary school located on the edge of Te Ihutai / Christchurch Estuary and adjacent to coastal cliffs and caves. The landscape design responds to the location with clear physical and visual connections between cave and coast. The design provides an activated landscape for play and learning, and the multi-layered landscape creates diverse and unexpected playscapes and opportunities to engage with the site.

The spatial arrangement creates at its center a sheltered heart to protect and nurture occupants from the cold north-easterly wind.

Separate sports and play spaces have been developed for the Junior and Senior School including natural play areas, edible gardens and outdoor performance spaces. Material and plant selections reflect the character of the coastal environment.
