Kerrie Murphy Building, Allen Jack+Cottier Michael Heenan, principal of Allen Jack+Cottier Architects, has delivered an instinctive, organic design to create a stimulating school building for the international Grammar School, Sydney. The accommodation consists of an arts and crafts facility, a library, staff offices and an indoor sports hall. The roof is to become an outdoor playground shaded by an array of photovoltaic cells. This represents an enormous achievement for the limited budget. The glazed amorphous openings appear like perfectly formed droplets of water on the surface of the building. "Contrasting the mass and weight of concrete with glass and its absolute precision, beautiful reflective qualities and ability to change its energy ratings and U values is something I am most interested in" says Heenan. This mixed-mode building is incredibly energy efficient. The building was designed for primary school children.
