Te Raekura Redcliffs School
By Canopy Landscape Architects
Te Raekura Redcliffs School is an exciting new primary school located on the edge of Te Ihutai / Christchurch Estuary and adjacent to coastal cliffs and caves. The landscape design responds to the location with clear physical and visual connections between cave and coast. The design provides an activated landscape for play and learning, and the multi-layered landscape creates diverse and unexpected playscapes and opportunities to engage with the site.
The spatial arrangement creates at its center a sheltered heart to protect and nurture occupants from the cold north-easterly wind.
Separate sports and play spaces have been developed for the Junior and Senior School including natural play areas, edible gardens and outdoor performance spaces. Material and plant selections reflect the character of the coastal environment.

About the
Professional
At Canopy, we like to get a sense of fulfilment from our jobs. This happens when clients feel passionately about what they are trying to create. It is our job to listen to turn ideas and visions into something real, contributing with the knowledge of all things landscape that we have learned through the years.
There are many layers of depth to landscape architecture. From creating the picturesque, the formal and functional through to enriching the ecology of the land and providing better connections. There is also aiding in the interpretation of cultural landscapes and creating memorable spaces that may become culturally significant.
Our aim at Canopy is to add as much depth and meaning to the landscape and given the opportunity, that is what we will do.
