A place to make.
A space to grow.

Proposal by Ms Sophia Coelho
Art Instructional Leader (Officer)

An organised, adaptable Visual Arts studio for junior and senior students. Explore the room, discover the thinking, and compare the Australian supplier options.

Capacity for the current timetable. Thirteen two-student tables provide 26 working places, matching the largest class of 26; 28 chairs include two spares. Twenty class-set journal bays serve approximately 16 junior classes each semester, with four reserve bays and labels reset at changeover, supporting at least 32 junior classes annually. The 12+ VCE allocations are separate individual storage spaces.

01 / WALK THROUGH THE THINKING

Every place has a purpose.

Hover over the room or a numbered point to see its current condition. Select a point for the design and suppliers. On a phone, use the Before photo button.

This is an interactive concept model, not a measured digital twin or construction drawing. The supplied main-room dimensions are 10,640 × 9,670 mm. Cabinet depths, store geometry, office footprint and equipment clearances require a site survey. Detailed images illustrate the agreed appearance.

02 / THE DESIGN COLLECTION

One palette. A connected room.

A consistent palette, clear labels and coordinated materials connect the room.

03 / THE DESIGN CASE

A working studio,
without an Art Technician.

The room must make collection, making, clean-up and return easier. Growing classes need growing storage, with clear responsibility for maintaining it.

01

Make the routine clear

Visible class bays, labelled tools and designated dry and wet zones reduce search time and misplaced materials.

02

Artwork protection in a shared space

Dedicated, labelled storage protects students’ work between classes. Secure VCE allocations and separate storage for paper, canvases and 3D work reduce damage, loss and unintended handling.

03

Sustainability

Durable furniture, cleanable finishes and replaceable parts reduce waste and replacement costs. Choose materials and systems that teachers can maintain and adapt as needs change.

04

Planning for the growing student body

Support at least 32 junior classes annually, around 16 each semester, plus VCE, through flexible layouts, semester changeover and reserve storage.

04 / UNDERSTANDING THE CHANGE

Before & proposed.

The main-store doors and front enclosure are removed to make deep teaching-wall storage. The separate smaller store keeps its controlled-access door.
