SKIPPS Shade Structure, St Kilda Park Primary School, Melbourne, Australia. Architect: Grant Amon Architects & Nervegna Reed Arc

---

This piece of architecture was designed with a child's point of view in mind. The retractable roof structure provides a much needed amenity to the main assembly area quadrangle. Students ,staff, parents and the general public are all the beneficiaries of the new system providing weather protection, better seating, landscaping and site lines as well as becoming a new central focus. Carefully inserted into the existing courtyard the new structure engages with the existing conditions on a number levels. Spatially the area is now framed and defined yet remains light and open.
