What a great way to finish a challenging year! Hired a couple of buses and headed out to @_tarrawarra_ for a beautiful day out! Fantastic food wine and service from their team. After the lunch, Art, speeches and Kris Kringle, we topped it off with our daily 3.30 plank! Thanks to @ingthian_tiong for the great photos.

Season’s Greetings from Brand Architects. We wish you a happy and restorative holiday.
Our office will be closed December 24, 2021 - January 3, 2022.
This week marked the start of another exciting project with the City of Melton, at the sod turning of Mt Atkinson Children’s and Community Centre. In attendance to mark the occasion were Cr Lara Carli, Deputy Mayor of Melton City Council, and Mr Cesar Melhem, Parliamentary Secretary for Training and Skills, along with Brand’s own Ming Lam and Peter Muhlebach.
The Centre will provide three and four year old kindergarten, community meeting spaces and maternal and child health services.

A great video from Cricket Victoria featuring our Reid Oval Redevelopment in Warrnambool.
With commentary from Gary McLean from Nestles Cricket Club, Gordon McLeod from the Warrnambool & District Cricket Association, and Debbie Arnott from Warrnambool City Council, who refers to the pavilion as “our star attraction”.
This clip really highlights the community lead design approach we have at Brand, and why we are so inspired by the communities and clubs we get to meet and work with.

Revisiting our Newport Gardens Early Years Hub, completed in 2013. The hub design incorporated a range of community services including four childcare rooms, two kinder rooms, a maternal and child health clinic, a toy library/multi-purpose room, and a Yooralla consulting suite.
The building was arranged around a central playground courtyard facing the adjacent school playing fields, and enabled the kinder and childcare playgrounds to be arranged in a park-like setting. Separation between age groups in the playground was achieved through landscape elements, rather than fences.
The design was the result of a comprehensive consultation process with user groups and the adjacent primary school.
The project included a strong environmental component and achieved a ‘Best Practice‘ rating, with energy consumption 30% less than was required by the Australian Building Code.

Thornbury High School’s Sports Hall and Performing Arts Centre has transformed the school’s outdated facilities into an exemplar education setting that has revitalised the school for students, staff and the wider community. The Sports Hall and Performing Arts Centre includes a competition grade basketball court, gym, change rooms, a 360 seat capacity performance space, a digital media studio, four music spaces, a drama studio and workshop spaces.
An innovative approach to adaptive reuse saw the school’s outdated 1980s sports hall undergo a complex refit and re-skinning to become the new centre, with the project representing a major focus for reinvigorating the school’s image and further encouraging student engagement and participation. The Sports Hall and Performing Arts Centre has also become a civic asset for the local community and is in regular use outside school hours.
Materials were carefully chosen for their warmth, with a mixture of bright feature floor and wall finishes and natural timber cladding in high traffic areas. Lighting was replaced with LED strip lighting laid out to improve the overall feel of the space. Natural light flows into the centre of the old hall through a large clearstory light in the existing main roof, allowing for the otherwise internal space to become an inviting focal core that links all the main uses.
A testament to the project’s overwhelming success, Thornbury High School was chosen as the venue to deliver the 2020-21 Victorian State Budget announcement by Premier Daniel Andrews along with Deputy Premier and Minister for Education James Merlino.
