The perfect balance of historic charm and modern craftsmanship.
Barefoot Projects’ rejuvenation of the Carey Baptist Grammar School Chapel creates a welcoming landscape honouring its 100-year legacy. The design is native-themed and centred around a 6-tonne boulder displaying the William Carey memorial plaque.
Meticulous work can be seen in the stone-clad pillars, bluestone paving, and walls that seamlessly align with the Chapel’s heritage facade.
Judges praised the precision, high-quality materials, and flawless construction, from retaining walls to detailed bluestone steps and cobblestones.
Thoughtful planting and a water feature add a final touch of care and refinement.
