Larmenier and Sacred Heart Primary School

Larmenier and Sacred Heart Primary School is the amalgamation of separate junior and infant schools onto one site. Extensive consultation with staff, parents and pupils inspired designs that create a world for young inquisitive minds where the question "Why?" would be encouraged and never ignored. Within a landlocked site with two 120 year old plane tress, a two storey spiral building responds to its environment, incorporating the Fibonacci "golden mean" as a symbol for its young community – the mathematics of nature within the structure of their building.
