Rainbow Street Public School

CONTEXT in collaboration with TKD Architects, was involved in the project from concept through to construction. The landscape encompasses new outdoor areas, playgrounds and landscape softworks for the expansion and upgrade of Rainbow Street Public School to cater for a doubling of the student population.

The landscape was developed in close consultation with the architects and school community and includes homebase rooms, which spill out onto flexible outdoor or amphitheatre style classrooms extend learning opportunities with custom and colourful outdoor furniture. Sensory gardens have been proposed within the central playground to educate and engage the students with touch, smell and sight.
