St Teresa’s School

Johannesburg

Completed 2019.

The Catholic based school of St Teresa’s purchased a neighbouring building and renovated it to accommodate additional facilities, however, the renovated building was not in line with the School’s look nor it’s ethos.

Savile Row was approached to design a new building for the school. Inspiration was drawn from 12th Century ecclesiastical or “church architecture” where beauty is achieved through carefully planned detailing. Grand arches partnered with perforated screens and skylights were planned to allow for natural light to flow freely throughout the building, illuminating the court yard and walkways.
