Belridge 中学表演艺术中心的设计核心旨在为富有戏剧性的室内空间引入动态的户外体验，将观众从被动的观察者转变为具有积极性与自主性的参与者。原建筑由西澳大利亚建筑管理局于 1994 年设计。如今，iredale pedersen hook 事务所受当地财政部门委托，为该艺术中心增加了一处新的表演艺术剧院，并对老剧院进行翻新与扩建，此外，还升级了艺术中心现有的设施，同时梳理出便捷清晰的交通流线。

The Belridge Secondary College Performing Arts Centre transforms the drama of the interior into a dynamic and engaging exterior experience that shifts the audience from passive observer into excited and willing participant. The original Belridge Secondary College Performing Arts Centre was designed by the Building Management Authority of Western Australia in 1994. iredale pedersen hook were engaged by the Department of Finance to add a new Performing Arts Theatre, renovate and extend the existing theatre, upgrade existing facilities and provide universal access.

扩建部分从学校管理中心延伸出来，环绕在一片高耸的木麻黄橡木林中。建筑师并没有消极地看待场地大小的限制，而是乐观地将内部空间与外部环境联系在一起，将橡木林转化成为艺术中心的自然室外礼堂。在自然的环绕下，建筑成为了舞台与幕布，倾斜的草坡则变身为供人放松休闲的座位区。

The addition extends from the school administration centre, bordered by an elevated grove of mature She-oak (Casuarinas) trees. Rather than view the restricted site size negatively, we optimistically embarked on a solution that would connect interior performances to the exterior, allowing the She-oak grove to act as a natural external auditorium and the sloping grass mound to become an alterative relaxed seating area with the building acting as a stage and cantilevered curtain.
