GROUND iNK was engaged to provide full landscape architect services for this school alteration and renovation project. The overall scope was to provide refurbished landscaped central courtyard for this 1000+ student primary school that also included a Special Needs and Early learning Centre.

Our key design ethos aims to challenge children of all ages by providing opportunities for them to test and develop their balance and coordination. Landscape elements such as informal stepping stones, small slides and climbing structures immersed in planting areas, provides the students with an aesthetically pleasing and diverse landscape intermixed with a challenging external play environment.

The soft landscaping has been selected to provide shade and to reduce the heat island effect, provide amenity and to accentuate the external learning environments. The proposed landscape design of the school provides an opportunity to build on the existing character of the site and to reinvigorate existing outdoor play and learning spaces.
