Carlton Gardens Primary School
In 2022 architects Six Degrees, together with builder CCB Envico, collaborated with Cubic Products to work with some pigmented versions of Cubic’s Cone block, which happens to have a tapered circular void down to a 120 mm diameter, within the 125 mm maximum opening allowed. Structural solutions were developed throughout the project to enable to installation to present seamlessly to the exterior, and provide permeable circulation spaces to promote use by both staff and students. The outcome allows light to penetrate what light typically be a cold dark stairwell and provides a distinct external presentation.
The products were made with the standard block production process along with including different oxides to deliver the colour palette sought by Six Degrees. Special rebates were included within the blocks themselves to house structural steel within the joints.
