STEM Innovation in Design | Toorak College
A bold, geometrically inspired façade defines the Swift Science & Technology Centre at Toorak College, designed to foster curiosity and inspire future-focused learning. Located on the Mornington Peninsula, the facility responds to its coastal environment—maximising winter sun to the north while enhancing thermal performance and protection from prevailing winds.
The façade solution features Hastings 550 Front Glazed System to deliver the striking curved northern elevation, offering a clean, modern aesthetic with efficient fabrication and installation. Complementing this, ecoFRAMEplus 101.6mm Centre Pocket Double Glazed Framing enhances insulation and energy performance on the southern elevation, balancing natural light with strength and compliance.
