That located in Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, Noosa Pengari Steiner School Performance Hall, was designed by Webb Duffy Architects, Employing energy-efficient design responsive to the micro-climate of the site, natural ventilation supplemented, sustainably-sourced timbers, low-embodied energy materials and non-toxic finishes, with universal accessibility, water-saving features, edible gardens and minimal impact on the natural bushland, this project covers all of the bases for truly sustainable building.

Designed by WD Architects to be a useful, beautiful and didactic building, the Performance Hall has been developed in an environmentally responsible and ethical manner in keeping with the principles that underpin all aspects of the school. The architects believe that providing excellent examples of sustainable design and building in an educational setting has the potential to influence children’s perception, understanding and expectations of environmental sustainability throughout their school years and thereby lay a strong foundation for their whole life.
