Wadestown is a hilly suburb in Wellington, where flat space is a at premium. The brief for Wadestown School was to build two new classrooms, to accommodate roll growth.
A proposal put forward by other designers was to build cheaply on the existing playgrounds, remote from the remainder of the school.
The Red Block scheme by Richard Wright instead developed an unused tree-covered hillside between the hall in the school's Main Block hall and the Top Block, adjacent to the Rose St entrance. |
