OAKHILL COLLEGE
Sydney, Australia
Education
The Oakhill College Innovation Hub provides spaces for hybrid workshops (timber, fabrication and robotics), computer + graphics workshops and science + laboratory spaces designed to encourage a collaborative approach to learning.
Particular efforts were made to retain the same footprint as the original build to reduce potential impacts on nearby residential properties.
MATERIALITY + PASSIVE DESIGN
Oakhill College provided those who initially worked on the project with the opportunity to experiment with how best to optimise pre-fab timber mass in combination with thermal mass (concrete) and minimal steel.
I was fortunate to work on various design alternatives when issues arose.

FINAL CD + VARIATIONS
As this project was near completion when I was assigned to it, I predominantly assisted the lead architect to continually update construction drawings as the project wound up.
FINAL CD PROBLEM SOLVING
As I joined to assist in the closing out of the project, coordination was required internally and with the contractors.
This ran seamlessly as the project was due for completion in the final months that I worked on it
