Quotes
We selected the m3 team due to their proven experience, client references, clarity of purpose and communication and relational style of building a partnership with us. I have found this decision to be an excellent one and I am very pleased with not only the resultant facilities, but the sense of confidence that has been established as we continue to review our needs and plan for future renovations and additions to our site. I recommend m3architecture as a team that listens to the needs of the client, is evidence and data informed in developing pragmatic plans for the project, and is innovative and collaborative in evolving thematic and creative solutions which integrate with existing designs as well as deliver quality resources which will stand the test of time.
Chris Ryan , Former Principal, Ambrose Treacy College
A tessellated Penrose framework embeds key College symbols into concrete, joinery, and glazing, unifying Ambrose Treacy’s mathematical training with a crystalline architectural identity.
The building is strategically sited to preserve the northern ironbark forest and frame it as a shaded foreground, while a courtyard between old and new wings creates a cool, biodiverse microclimate with endemic planting.
