Clifton Hill Primary School | Jackson Clements Burrows Architects

This dynamic vertical campus for grade 5 and 6 students creates exemplary learning, teaching, staff working and multipurpose community environments for a much–loved inner–city school. Spanning three levels, the building adopts a simple but rigorous floorplan that accommodates a large program on a constrained site. Located opposite the Darling Gardens, the design response references the existing heritage campus buildings while also drawing inspiration from Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. A ribbon band of glazed green bricks and use of circular “bite like” apertures bring a whimsical quality to the design. Exposed structural elements including mass timber and articulated services enable the building to serve as an explanatory teaching tool for students. Designed utilising a mass timber hybrid construction to achieve Passivhaus Certification, a first for the VSBA, the building integrates a PV array on the playground roof terrace to provide power and a visual learning opportunity.

Altona Pier | Jackson Clements Burrows Architects + Site Office + AW Maritime

Altona Pier is a much–loved community landmark that has played a vital role in the growth of the suburb since the 1800s, enjoyed for promenading, swimming, fishing, boating and socialising.
In 2020, Parks Victoria with government stakeholders highlighted the need for a new pier. Community engagement informed a project vision underpinned by multiple objectives.
A key design move realigns the new pier to strengthen the axis and relationship with Pier St and the Altona commercial precinct. The geometry is crafted to provide an experiential quality and fulfill the functional brief, including recycling timber from the original pier.
The design tackles the competing requirements of a high impact public realm in a marine environment to mitigate wave overtopping, resolve robust detailing and prefabricated components to reduce environmental impact, and achieve a pier of civic generosity and accessibility that supports multiple community activities to elevate Altona Pier as an iconic destination.
