Counterintuitively turning its back on the valley beyond, this outdoor learning space is focussed on a more immediate and intimate view to the trees and rock face. Deliberately boisterous and dynamic, likes its namesake, this space seeks protection and intimacy from the open spaces of the property, hiding and watching as students and teachers pass by. The structure is open and airy, providing glimpses of sky and canopy between the "wings", but also providing protection from rain and Western sun.

This outdoor learning space is considered to provide a canvas for the evolving model of teaching, the designed instigated with-out a clear picture of how it would be used...art, music, performance, teaching, cooking, observing and protection are all possible.

The roof was expertly crafted by the builder, each element bespoke and individually cut and shaped, seemlessly blending steel and timber. The custom formed gutters overflow at each end to the landscape, the feathers capturing and funnelling the cooling breeze or venting the space when all around is calm.....the structure seeks to make its experience of the occupants fully aware of the conditions of their environment. Designed to weather and age gracefully over time, taking on the colours and patina of its bush setting, eventually, deliberately, disappearing into the landscape to be discovered rather than seen,
