Project Architect: Brendon Monk

Victory Primary School’s approach to learning and community has become an example and inspiration to schools throughout New Zealand and is at the heart of the positive growth of the wider Victory community where Brendon was living at the time.

The junior learning centre is a new building connected to existing school classrooms, creating an enclosed courtyard for the new entrants.

A palette of honest natural materials, colours and vegetation was established including stained plywood, grey Colorsteel, timber poles, and specific cultural patterns and colours.

This project was designed by Brendon during his time at Arthouse Architecture.

About the
Professional

MODO Architects operates with the simple overriding desire to produce buildings of poetic beauty and place. We have a responsibility to create buildings that respond to and engage with people and landscape, both visually and sustainably. MODO Architects are skilled in a wide range of architectural design from residential, multi-unit residential, commercial, education, community, interior and landscape.

For us the first and most important stage of the architectural process is to understand and empathize with you, the client. Having an architect that can step into your shoes and see the project from your perspective is essential. We are based in Auckland but spend several days per month in and around Nelson on projects. We are used to working remotely so can take on projects anywhere.
