Latest News from Mayoh Architects
"The St Catherine's School Performing Arts & Aquatic Centre(PAC) is commended for its unusual & clever combination of learning opportunities on a constrained inner-city site. The School's brief was ambitious, including performing arts centre, and aquatics centre and a multiuse space, intended to support their population of 100 student on topographically challenging site.
The architects have cleverly adapted what others would see as constraints into an adroit layering of disparate programs over a basement carpark.. Acoustic separation has been crucial to the success of the project, with architectural and structural design resolution isolating the building structure into separate compartments. the result ensures disparate activities within the building are not disruptive to each other or neighboring properties."
Congratulations to everyone involved!
The existing classroom spaces within the heritage wing are transformed into flexible and contemporary GPLAs, while the new four-storey Northern Wing extension contains additional 9 state of the art GPLAs, Breakout and Collaboration Areas, and a tiered Presentation Space.
The refurbished and new GPLA’s open to the undercover outdoor learning and collaborative spaces, providing teachers and students the opportunity to connect and learn in the natural environment, promoting curiosity and growth.

Thank you to James Hardie Building Products APAC for featuring our recently completed project, 18 at Chatswood on their website as part of their commercial design ideas. 18 at Chatswood utilises James Hardie’s RAB Board and ExoTec Vero Panel System on the façade. Its concrete look seamlessly integrates with the natural palette of materials and colours, resulting in a building which feels as if it were an extension of the surrounding bushland.

Thank you to Historic Stays for featuring our recently completed project, Byng St Boutique Hotel “…Mayoh Architects were engaged to design a new rear section, based on their experience in bringing together old heritage buildings with stylish modern additions. Their vision was to bring life into the building that would intrigue guests. Inspiration came from the quirky, unique architectural details of the original homestead, local artists, the surrounding landscape and history of the region. Peter Mayoh grew up on a five generation farm in Crookwell, so to restore a heritage country property in NSW’s Central West that would also generate employment opportunities in Orange made this a deeply rewarding project…”
