Alterations and additions to Block D (a post-WWI brick school building typical of the interwar period) form part one of a four stage infrastructure master plan titled ‘Vision 2020’ for Lycee Condorcet – The International French School of Sydney.

The contemporary addition provides the school with a lift, additional flexible general learning areas and amenities which are naturally lit by both high and low levels windows that also assist with cross ventilation.

These spaces open up to the adjacent playground thus improving the building’s connectivity to the rest of the school.
