Tasked with rejuvenating an old tired indoor courtyard area, Long Contracting helped redesign the courtyard to create a more flexible space for interaction between students. Incorporating recycled materials and eco-friendly indoor/outdoor plaster boxes, the courtyard has given life to a once unnoticed and unloved area.

The large custom made spotted gum columns contrast heavily against the exposed aggregate concrete and epoxy floors, giving the space depth and grandness all while helping to keep the area feeling natural and well proportioned. The space has also become an area suitable for both parent and teacher functions.

An old 1970’s cream brick rectangle once stood as the main quadrangle building where limited classes could be enjoyed by students. Long Contracting were trusted with the extensive task of regenerating and revitalizing each classroom and the facade of the building, to ensure students had modern and comfortable spaces to learn, but also a colourful and fun environment in which they could entertain and create memories with one another. This rejuvenated building has given the school a broad selection of modern teaching spaces which will see the building through for another 20 years.

This aging 1900’s residence had various alterations over the years. Our client’s desire was to remove the evidence of these alterations and to regenerate the historic features of this house. The front portion was restored to its original appearance, whilst a modern extension took advantage of a large rear garden, creating new bedrooms & living spaces incorporating modern architecture and technologies.
