Bastow Institute of Educational Leadership
By Maddison Architects
Spread over three levels, this 1500m2 facility includes the full restoration of an 1880s existing heritage listed building. Designed to inspire and support innovative adult education that addresses pedagogy for the 21st century, new additions were designed to be complementary, yet provide distinct clarity between the new and old.
The creative learning spaces include syndicate rooms, outdoor amphitheatre, teaching lounge, observational classroom, breakout spaces and a state of the art underground lecture theatre. New functional requirements such as toilets, editing suites and room partitions which are largely self contained and separate from the existing building envelope, present themselves as angular geometry, modern materials and bold colours whilst treatment of surfaces of the original building fabric is purposely restrained.
Bastow is an example of a holistic design that precisely integrates architecture, landscape, interior, heritage, graphics, furniture and digital information systems to produce a seamless experience throughout the facility

About the
Professional
Peter Maddison is a multi award-winning architect and Director of Maddison Architects, a practice he started in 1989.
We are an A+ member of the Australian Institute of Architects. Dozens of industry awards and strong media coverage has followed our practice because of the relevant, contemporary nature of the work we produce. We have delivered over 200 projects of great diversity in scale. The work undertaken has been predominantly hospitality, commercial, educational or residential in nature. Our hospitality projects have distinguished the practice, because of their commercial viability and profile. We are proud to have many of our clients return for ongoing or new projects. This is due to their satisfaction with the service we provide and the healthy relationship nurtured.
A unique aspect of Maddison Architects is our ability to integrate a multi-disciplined approach to all of our projects, drawing on strong in-house resources involving architecture, interior and landscape architecture. We are a collaborative practice, and embrace the opportunity to engage with other experts in branding, identity, art installations, storytelling - all of which contribute to building outcomes with more meaning.
