The Woodlands Pavillion was designed as a new home
for the Old Boys Society of Bischops Diocesian College
in Cape Town, and also served as the pavillion and
supporting structure to the new hockey pitches installed
at the school. The project was developed durning my
tenure at Luke Scott architects, working in a small team
comprised of Luke Scott and myself.
My involvement in the project started from the initial
clients brief and I had a large responsibility in the initial
conceptual design of the project. The design took inspiration
from historical points on the site of the school,
uniting elements from across the site. This was then
embedded with the complex set of functions required
from the project brief in order to give substance to the
outcome of the final design. The project was completed
and opened on 8 May 2015.
As we took the project from the conceptual development
through to the construction phases, I was responsible
for the creation and drafting of the drawing set
required for submission.
The pavillion itself had to be sensitive to the existing site
as the Bischops Diocesian College has many heritage
buldings within its ground which is steeped in tradition.
The Interior design of the project was also done by us,
along with furniture company Weylandts who we partnered
with in order to create an end product that would
resonate the elite mentality of the school itself.
The bold and simple rectilinear forms of the desing work
well to pay homage to the past of the school while steering
it subtly in a future direction, and creating a pristine
backdrop for a multitude of future events within it.
