A budget-friendly extension that enhances Wainui School's Admin area, doubling its space and creating a warm, inviting entry with functional design and simple materials.

A simple extension adds a welcoming and open space for this friendly little beach school.

Working with a tiny budget, and a short timeframe due to funding streams, we managed to open up the Admin area and double the space, creating a warm, light and welcoming entry to the school. Simple materials and clean lines create functional, practical spaces.

“For more than 15 years, the architect has made a contribution that goes well beyond a typical design engagement. Heritage preservation, the drafting of funding submissions and physical contributions to the internal preservation work were all part of a role that has resulted in an enhanced building preserved for future generations. This discreet structural upgrade retains the integrity of the original building. Carbon-fibre, inserted behind exceptional whakairo (carved wooden panels) helps bring the church up to code.”
