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.

The JAWS design for the HSBC pavilion in China has been selected as the wining proposal for the WGC-HSBC Champions 2021 at Sheshan International Golf Club, Shanghai.
JAWSARCHITECTS have partnered with NaN studio (Shanghai) to deliver the design and construction of the main building “Hex Suite” and a single storey player lounge.
Our design has taken a different approach, with an emphasis on modular construction to minimizing wastage and allow for a high level of quality through offsite manufacture.
JAWSARCHITECTS will complete the design documentation and provide ongoing advice during construction remotely to ensure high-level details will be translated into the final build.
The next phase of design is commencing in early May.

Our Interior Designer Laura has a passion for designing restaurants and bars. We are excited to announce that this month she will be opening Van Bone Restaurant on Friday the 19th as a co-director! The interior design is warm and welcoming, yet intimate and highly experiential. The journey through the building is highly choreographed, a small dark entry foyer building anticipation before opening into the main restaurant space. Communal dining, an open kitchen where everything is cooked on fire and grand sweeping views are an ideal way to enjoy a set menu degustation cooked by her partner, chef Tim Hardy. We are so excited to dine @vanbone_restaurant
