Completed in 2018, the much-loved Bruny Island Hotel accommodation villas are set to expand! Due to demand, the success of the design and amenities offered, JAWS has been given the opportunity to implement an additional five structures.
Building upon feedback from both the hotel operators and customers, JAWS has a unique opportunity to tweak and improve the already successful accommodation. Each additional retreat will retain an expansive view of the D’Entrecaseaux Channel, a cosy window seat and private sheltered deck.

Preceding the gymnasium addition to the Channel Christian School, two new modular classrooms were designed and completed in 2020.
Utilising JAWS extensive knowledge in modular construction, along with clever use of materiality, the structure was to appear permanent and not at all like a demountable. The moveable nature of the structure allows the school flexibility, with the potential to move to another one of the school’s campuses if required.
The use of long-lasting materials and subdued colours were in response to the semi-rural setting. A large solid timber awning and north-facing covered deck creates a great outdoor learning space and connects the classroom with the outdoor areas.
Neutral interior spaces with soaring ceiling lines and ample natural light creates a fantastic learning environment throughout the new build.
JAWSARCHITECTS have provided ongoing assistance with the master plan design and implementation for Channel Christian School. Located beside the beautiful D’Entrecasteaux Channel in Margate, the school facilitates primary age students from kindergarten to year six.
An exciting stage in the development, a purpose-built gymnasium and music teaching facility (pictured) is soon to begin construction! We are looking forward to this stage of the project getting underway.
