Carolyn Oades

Over 25 years Carolyn has accumulated a wealth of experience with significant expertise in primary, secondary and tertiary education and master planning, as well as a thorough proficiency in the legislative complexities of government and DPTI work. Several years in England and Ireland have contributed to her broad vision and contextually-sensitive design approach. Evident in her recently completed Nairne and Para Hills Primary Schools, Carolyn is a strong advocate for quality facility design improving well-being, child development and learning outcomes. She is keen to research, embrace and develop client philosophies to deliver excellent responsive, customised outcomes, as in the Adelaide North Special School project. Carolyn seeks flexible, creative and inspired responses to design challenges, balanced with practical efficiency in layout and construction. She aims to create spaces that delight end users and tread lightly on the planet.
