ST MICHAELS GRAMMAR SCHOOL EAST ST KILDA, MELBOURNE

Kneeler Design Architects has been engaged to undertake a schematic design study for renovation works required to the St George Uniting Church to provide dedicated facilities for music, drama and performing arts, as well as space for general school use such as assemblies, presentations, and speech nights. A key ambition of the project is to maximise seating numbers whilst maintaining good sight lines to the stage area and negotiating a complex range of heritage controls.
