PROJECTS | Building the Future of Learning – St Peters Lutheran College Expansion WMK has partnered with St Peters Lutheran College for the Stage 3B Junior High extension at their Springfield Campus. This project builds upon the original design by McLellan Bush Architects, addressing the growing educational demands in Springfield and the evolving needs of the school's curriculum. The new design introduces flexible learning spaces, including an outdoor area perfectly suited for the subtropical climate, and a stone-clad amphitheatre within the Learning Commons—a new central hub for formal and informal gatherings. The contemporary material palette complements the existing structures while giving Stage 3B a distinct presence on campus. Our design honours St Peters' Lutheran heritage, with the main feature façade symbolising the school's Christian focus. The result is a vibrant learning environment where young minds can thrive, connected seamlessly with the original building to create a multi-functional, purpose-driven educational space.

PROJECTS | WMK reimagines 9 Castlereagh St lobby In collaboration with Harry Seidler & Associates and Melhem Design Studio, WMK has orchestrated a visionary transformation of the lobby of 9 Castlereagh St for Charter Hall with the building set to become one of Sydney’s premier office destinations. Serving as a nexus of connection for tenants and visitors, the design will elevate the modern workplace experience as it embraces its open air atmosphere, offering abundant natural light, lush greenery, a new café, bar and an expansive dining area. The café and bar experience will be delivered by The Grounds, known for creating one of Sydney’s most beloved and social media’s most famous cafés. WMK’s design integrates indoor and outdoor dining, which will be defined by its illuminated curved architectural detail that extends through the lobby. Complementing the existing granite stone, and the original mosaic mural by Lin Utzon, the new rich colours and soft furnishings of The Grounds fitout adds warmth and vibrancy. Construction by McCormack is underway and expected to be completed end 2024. PM: Gallagher Jeffs Services: Evolved Engineering
