The project
Multi-span curved roof structure on charcoal steel posts over the main play and eating area, with curved cantilever walkway covers linking classroom blocks, gardens and the bike area. Roof sheet in a pale grey with integrated gutters and downpipes run inside the post line.
Pioneer Shade designed, fabricated and installed a staged shade system for a Baulkham Hills primary school. The scope covered a large curved outdoor learning area over the existing courts and seating, single-post cantilever walkway covers along garden paths and building edges, and a sheltered bike and seating area by the front fence. Posts were placed to keep courts and paths clear, and stormwater was run through concealed gutters and downpipes so students stay dry moving between buildings.
