Case Study: Green School, New Zealand

Educating with Impact

Our Challenge
With a tight timeframe, we were asked to consider going ahead with this project. It involved many complex glulam curved members and needed to meet sustainable requirements for Green School. The design of Green School was born from an innovative vision from the Founders, Mike & Rachel Perrett, they worked with Boon Team Architects to bring their vision to life. Focused on connecting the students with nature. Bringing in touches of the ground and the sky to classrooms and creating a place of deep learning for the students.

The Techlam Solution
