This Wednesday 10th August Laurence and Gerard will be presenting at EduTech.
They will be sharing their insights on Designing Innovative Spaces, and how the thoughtful transformation of spaces across secondary and tertiary STEM environments creates an innovative platform for design thinking, STEM research, and entrepreneurship results in profound impacts on students’ futures.
For more information about the EduTech conference, visit the link in bio.
Over the weekend two of our projects were featured as part of Open House Melbourne.
Visitors to Monash Tech School and Monash Makerspace learnt about the programs on offer at each facility, as well as hearing from Brand Directors Gerard and Farnia, who provided insight into the creative process behind each facility’s design.
Brand Architects is very pleased to announce that two of our amazing team members, Esther Deutscher and Anamaria Arnautu, have been appointed to Associate.
From everyone here at Brand Architects, congratulations to Esther and Anamaria on your achievements and all your hard work.

Brand Architects was engaged in 2013 to prepare a masterplan to expand Holy Trinity Lutheran College, located in Horsham, from Primary only to a full P-12 college.
The innovative masterplan sought to maximise the use of the school’s land on the floodplain which would allow the school to expand without having to purchase an additional block to the south that was initially thought would be required.
Brand Architects have since completed 7 stages of implementation at the college, the most recent being the new senior school. The design and materials relate to the site context amongst a grove of 500-year-old river red gums. Planning is an innovative mix of specialist science, technology and general spaces grouped with a large sports hall, sports science lab and resource / study centre for the VCE cohort. The new facilities have also been embraced by the broader community – with a level of enthusiasm that has given the new builds local iconic status.
As a result of the college’s innovative educational model focused on regional needs, along with new and contemporary facilities in order to better deliver their model, Holy Trinity Lutheran College has become the educational institution of choice in the Wimmera region.

Brand Architects has delivered a flagship facility for Warrnambool City Council, comprising an all new regional pavilion complete with social spaces and match day facilities, a redeveloped oval, new cricket training nets, and new junior football and umpire training area.
Key success factors on this project included stakeholder engagement and management, working to a constrained timeline, and adhering to a reasonably tight budget given the site constraints.

Donvale Christian College is a co-educational school of 1500 students located on a hilly site in a green wedge zone in the Melbourne metropolitan area of Manningham.
Constructed over four levels, the Community Hub comprises a multi-purpose hall for sport, performing arts and assemblies, a range of flexible learning and gymnasium spaces, a competition-standard double court, change rooms, a kitchen/kiosk, amenities and storage areas.
The new multi-use Community Hub supports students, staff and the wider school community with contemporary facilities that maximise flexibility and enhance functionality.
The Community Hub is cut into a steep site in which the building traverses a level difference of 15m at a 1:3 slope. It provides ground level entry to each of the four levels, with the basement level accommodating archive and storage areas.
Brand Architects successfully overcame some extremely challenging design and construction issues including highly restrictive access, deep site excavation with earth retaining and waterproofing challenges, services relocations, HV powerline pylons in proximity and indigenous tree protection and offset.
