SKOPE OF WORK To construct a four classroom, two storey building to help promote the uniqueness of the philosophy of Rudolph Steiner, and incorporate the use of environmentally friendly products.

HIGHLIGHTS The challenge posed by the on-site manufacture of external laminated staircases including laminated handrails in Kwila. The ground floor ceiling panels were also interesting using Kwila slats with calico backing.  The project began with the foundation set out and support columns - there were no right angle corners to anything!
