Our Projects: Creative Arts and Design Centre at St. Mary’s Anglican Girls School

 

At Office Line, we are proud to have contributed to the new Creative Arts and Design Centre at St. Mary’s Anglican Girls School, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to nurturing the creative potential of senior students. This three-storey building stands as a testament to St. Mary’s commitment to the arts, providing an innovative and inspiring environment where students can explore and develop their artistic talents.

The Creative Arts and Design Centre comprises specialised areas, including collaborative spaces, galleries, studios, and a modern media centre. Here, students are encouraged to express themselves and work together across disciplines such as visual arts, ceramics, design, 3D construction, fashion, textiles, and wearable art. Each area has been designed to facilitate hands-on learning and creative collaboration.

 

 

To ensure that each space met St. Mary’s educational needs, we provided functional, durable, and adaptable furniture solutions. Aligned with the school’s commitment to sustainability, St. Mary’s decided to repurpose and enhance some existing furniture pieces. Office Line integrated these products seamlessly into the final design, supporting an approach that respects the environment.

Some of the selected products include:

  • EN Gas Lift Chairs: Ergonomically designed and crafted with high-quality materials, these black-based chairs are ideal for extended work sessions, offering students both comfort and versatility.
  • Height-Adjustable Tables: Fitted with a preset controller and available in white or oak finishes, these tables allow students and teachers to adjust their workspaces as needed, promoting both ergonomics and movement.
  • Teacher's Pod: Providing a mobile storage solution and teaching hub in one
  • Round Eduflex Ottomans and Floor Cushions with Rosie Paine Aboriginal Prints. 

This new centre will not only host rotating exhibitions of students’ work but will also serve as a hub of inspiration and creativity for the entire St. Mary’s community. Galleries and studios allow students to showcase their artwork, while interactions with guest artists enrich their experiences and offer professional insights.

The sustainable approach of repurposing existing furniture highlights our shared commitment to the environment and social responsibility. This decision not only helps reduce environmental impact but also adds a meaningful dimension to the educational experience, demonstrating to students the importance of sustainable practices.

 

Our Projects: The King's College

 

The Lighthouse Studio at The King’s College was part of their inclusive education upgrade. It was designed to create a safe space for students to be able to retreat and seek assistance without any stigma.

With an understanding of our client's needs, we were able to produce a great result. Our project design lead, Amanda, worked closely with the school team and presented them with layouts and 3D renders so they could visualize how their ideas would look in reality.

 

A neutral colour palette was selected for this space to create a sense of calm. The colours are subtle and inviting, and they help to create a serene environment.
The neutral finishes, which were selected from Warwick's Beachcomber fabric range, and the Laminex commercial range, which is made here in Australia, combine perfectly to create a welcoming scene with light blues, teals, greys, and elegant oak woodgrain features.
The fabric was Scotch guarded to improve the durability of the light colours. This helps to protect the furniture by guarding against wear and tear, and keep it looking its best for longer.

We know that the right furniture selection and finishes can assist in making a difference in a students' education experience.

At Office Line, we strive to only use furniture and materials made here in Australia. We want every student to have the best possible experience while they're at school, and we believe that starts with the spaces they spend their time in every day. 

 

 

Office Line is proud to be part of inclusive projects like this, where the spaces which we help to create, allow students to find their inner greatness.
