Wellington East Girls College was a combination of a heritage refurbishment and a 'new build'. The facade of the original building was retained along with the vestibule - they were refurbished with the assistance and advise of a conservation architect. Lighting - both interior and to the exterior facade - were crucial to the modeling and ambience of the space/place

The entire rest of the school was new build, requiring an entire interior fit-out which took it's inspiration from it's locality and the prominent Tui.
