Jury citation
Cannon Hill Anglican College D-Block by Reddog Architects in association with Blueline Architecture is a smaller contender in the education category, but its joy, connection to site, delight in form and detailing, and student experience shone through.
The development of D-block provides a critical link in the school’s masterplan, joining the senior and middle schools while also creating a striking entry. The project exhibits beautiful materiality in its light, sinuous brickwork and its colour palette, creating a series of exciting spatial experiences for students and staff. The dining hall, undercroft and circulation spaces connect seamlessly with the outdoor areas and existing bush setting, fulfilling a key priority for the client. The result is a long, two-storey building synonymous with Queensland schools, but deconstructed, carefully sited, and crafted from brick and concrete to create a new and engaging architectural character for the campus.
Cannon Hill Anglican College D-Block is located in Cannon Hill, Queensland on Turrbal and Jagera Country.
