The main entrance to Atirum Studio, part of the Ashburton Studio School, is set at the narrow end of the site, creating a visually dramatic entry to the Studio.

Developed to have a characterful and civic presence the studio features a roof with a series of repeating bays, rising at both ends towards the larger adjacent buildings, defining the central square in front of the original schoolhouse.

As the school’s specialism is construction the interior design has incorporated informative graphics; students and visitors will see the loading on each structural element and the plan of the school forms the pattern to the stair balustrade.
Exposed structures have been balanced with splashes of bright colour, creating light airy spaces producing a robust learning environment.
