As design and project architect, Marlene Swinney completed this light-weight steel framed facility while resident director of TJ Architects East London.

“The SGB of Voorpos Primary was thrilled with the architect’s fresh approach to designing six classrooms, an ablution block and a waiting area and the final result exceeds our expectations by far. The building proves to be both practical and attractive with striking use of bold colour throughout and fine attention to detail. Not only does the new addition present a new face to the school entrance, it has already become an upbeat feature in the neighbourhood.”
