OUTHOUSE design was approached to design a concept that would support the Community consultation design vision. Together in collaboration with the School’s principal and community feedback, OUTHOUSE design sought an opportunity to celebrate the spirit and history of the Schools four house teams.
The natural playground is made up of a number of individual activity zones. Each zone represents the unique spirit of the schools four house teams. The fifth and final destination point of the journey connects you to the amphitheatre stage, representing the school coming together in unison, still promoting the spirit of the individual, but the strength of the collective.
This design focuses on using sustainable recycled materials that encourage low level play, a sports court, outdoor learning amphitheatre, sensory garden with talking tubes and musical chimes and other hidden gems to explore.
“Congrats to you and your team. It really was a great project that would never have had the amazing outcomes without the awesome design work you developed for us.”
