BRIEF After a successful fundraising campaign by the school community, it was important to provide a highly visible outcome to the community after all the effort in fundraising, and equally important to ensure the structure was a low maintenance solution for years to come without requiring ongoing school budget funding. Another key outcome was minimising the risk of vandalism due to the space being a secluded area of the school site.
OUTCOME The hyperbolic (twisted) shade sail design was selected due to it being a cost-effective option for a large playground space. It also provides a highly visible, striking aesthetic result for the community. As part of the project, Greenline managed all the works including the building permit application, leaving all the school staff free to continue with their jobs as per normal.
