The Howqua Campus is a residential campus for year nine girls sited on a bushland property bounded by State Forest.

The project included the masterplanning and design of student and staff accommodation, teaching and recreation spaces as well as all site infrastructure and services.

Within the campus, students are exposed to an educational philosophy which aims to integrate respect for the environment with the personal development of the child.

Small weathered timber buildings cluster around a central common which acts as an open air gathering space and imbues the campus witha rural sense of place.

Simple, raw materials, wood fired heating, localised water collection and natural coolingsystems express a simpler way of living that challenges the complexities of contemporary urban life.
