Timaru South School
By DLA Architects
The Client brief called for the refurbishment of a typical mid 60’s classroom block along with the development of a feature outdoor Play, Perform, View space. The design response was configured around an inlaid North / South compass which provides orientation for multi-level steps and ramps up to the central performing platform. The circular orientation of the compass allows for vertical elements of solid walls, penetrated walls and individual columns all with varying surfaces, materials and textures the children can move in, around and through.

Dickson Lonergan Architects (DLA) was founded in Whanganui in 1974 with founding partners Bruce Dickson (retired) and the late Barry Lonergan. Once fully established in the Whanganui region, DLA then started to expand the business, first into Wellington in 1999 with Barry and Glenn starting up the capital city office. Then came the Timaru Office headed up by Murray Ackroyd in 2005 and the further expansion to Hamilton in 2010 with Martin Swann.
The opportunity then arose to open an Auckland office in 2015 with Alana moving north from Wellington. Now with 5 offices, DLA has evolved from its humble beginnings into a nationwide practice, with a passionate team of architects and designers who specialise in all fields from commercial, residential, industrial, interiors, education and public projects through to DLA’s main stay of large scale dairy and food processing architecture.
