Located in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood, the red-bricked St. Augustine School and Child Care provides a symbolic link to the nearby St. Augustine Church and Parish by means of a playful masonry collage composed of three shades of brick arranged in varying patterns. Buff-brick cruciforms modestly mark the school as a Catholic institution in the surrounding neighbourhood. Slender cruciform columns support folded steel canopies outside the main entrances. Mother Mary is represented by blue coloured glass and south-facing vivid green snaking-stairways the children stomp upon as they rush outside to play.
