Hymba Yumba Independent School featured in Architecture Au

We are very proud that our work at Hymba Yumba Independent School has been featured in Architecture, Au, in a beautifully written article by Georgia Birks. To read the article follow this link.

Schools are mini neighbourhoods, equipped with libraries, gardens, “town” halls, sporting fields, private spaces, public spaces, and more. And like a great neighbourhood, what makes for a great school is not necessarily the lavishness of its built environment but rather the sense of safety, comfort, connectivity and ownership it creates. Hymba Yumba Independent School, designed by Deicke Richards, is a fine example of this. Its collection of buildings, developed over three stages, has created a miniature neighbourhood ecosystem that has been strategically designed to adapt and evolve in response to the community’s needs. The outcome is a place that dismantles institutional characteristics and facilitates positive educational and cultural experiences for its students, teachers and families
