The Cadagon Song School was commissioned to complete the composition of buildings within the historical Treasury/ Cathedral precinct, and provide facilities for the St.George's Cathedral Choir. Located between St. George?s Cathedral, Burt Memorial Hall, Church House, and the Deanery, the 200sqm Song School was designed to not only visually balance the composition of unique existing buildings, but allow full access throughout the site. Consisting of a series of sculptural vaulted arches and a ?tuning fork? spire - a contemporary reference to the religious architectural language and defining lancet windows of the Cathedral ? the scale and form of the vaults allows the eye to transition and understand the dialogue between old and new.
