The Scots College John Cunningham Student Centre is designed in the Scots Baronial style and involved transforming the existing Stevenson Library building into a larger and more practical structure with modern amenities and technologies. With timber playing a significant role in the design, Parametric Monkey was commissioned by Savcon to provide a digital fabrication model of the new feature stair. Crafted from recycled ironbark, the stair features meticulously detailed fielded panels and integrated handrails, with hand-sculpted Thistles and Waratahs newel posts.
