Shore School
North Sydney and Northbridge NSW
Mayoh Architects began their association with Shore School in 1991, and this partnership continues to flourish today. The initial commission for the Centenary Building in 1994 has led to over ten projects and master planning exercises of various scales over the past 30 years. The heritage and tradition of the existing buildings have deeply influenced an architectural style that embodies a strong sense of place.

This project responds to its heritage context through careful articulation of building elements facing the street in a ‘terrace style’ of architecture, while at the same time creating a stimulating learning environment within the site.
Heritage listed ‘Upton Grange’ was the focal point at the centre of the site, around which all of the new buildings were carefully arranged.
Hawker Grandstand

The brief for the grandstand was to provide modern change rooms and spectator facilities as a replacement to the existing change sheds and grandstand along with large scale water harvesting to assist in the irrigation of the playing fields. The building aims to relate to the existing style of architecture in the nearby Shore Preparatory School and is an important element in the overall master plan for the site.
Soccer and Tennis Pavilion
Value: $5 M Original Construction 2013
Shore School’s Northbridge Pavilion & Tennis Complex was the final project as part of the precinct’s original Masterplan. The brief for the pavilion was to provide areas for spectators to watch soccer games to the west of the site, and tennis games to the north and east. Nine new tennis courts were constructed as part of the project, as well as new landscaping to unify the various areas of the precinct. The pavilion also includes modern change rooms, a medical centre, and a kitchen to cater for functions in the multi-purpose room on the first floor.
