Green Skills Training Centre — Askew Cavanna Architects
An industrial training workshop interior featuring modular plywood work bays set within a soaring daylight-filled steel truss structure by Askew Cavanna Architects.
- What we like about this project
- Exposed overhead ductwork and mechanical reels integrate neatly with the high-bay industrial framing.

- educational
- Geometry
- Open-plan high-bay industrial volume subdivided by modular low-height plywood partitions and work bays.
- Structural guess
- Exposed steel truss roof system on industrial portal frame.
- Spatial scale
- Large-volume workshop space scaled for industrial training, with human figures providing direct scale.
- Lighting
- Abundant top-lit daylight from continuous roof monitors supplemented by overhead linear fixtures.
- Atmosphere
- Active, bright, and utilitarian, defined by the warmth of raw plywood and crisp daylight.
- Environmental context
- Interior of an adaptive reuse or industrial training hall with visible structural framing.
- Spatial experience
- A bright, expansive working floor where individual modular craft bays create semi-enclosed workspaces beneath a soaring roof structure.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating rhythm of green steel roof trusses overhead matched by the modular layout of plywood work bays below.
