seatoun school

This project was undertaken by Tennent Bevin Slessor Architects, a collaboration between Bevin + Slessor Architects and Hugh Tennent Architects.

This project arose from the relocation of the existing Seatoun Primary School community, which had outgrown its existing site. The central portion of the previous Fort Dorset Army base, comprising the old parade ground and rugby field, was designated for the new school. The site is adjacent to the harbour entrance and rugged coastal reserve and enjoys all day sun but is subject to very strong winds from Cook Strait and the north.
