Warrnambool is a town set between two rivers on the South-West coast of Victoria.
The canopy creates interest in the soffit lining with timber look battening in a ‘river’ concept.
This decorative ceiling forms a visual activity above the users head as they approach the building’s entry, encouraging them for a moment to dream and imagine, a primary objective of any university space.
Kelly Architects is a Geelong based architectural practice with a strong connection and on-going support to rural communities and not-for-profit organisations.
Our projects span from Edenhope at the states Western boarder to Sale, deep in the Eastern Gippsland region.
The majority of our completed work is in South West Victoria and Melbourne’s outer Eastern Suburbs.
Our major projects are primary schools, health care facilities and community buildings. We work with communities that value their own talents, culture and environment, be they education providers, health care providers, local government councils or volunteer groups.
We have a reputation of strong listening and guidance to community groups through engagement workshops and forming personal relationships with our clients. Evening workshops were conducted at Dunkeld, Edenhope and Derrinallum for their projects were volunteers were most available outside of regular business hours. Weekend discussions suited the staff and parent groups of St Michael’s Primary School Berwick and St John’s Primary School Dennington. Our projects become of personal interest to us and we become part of the community we work with.
