The design focuses on two elements: how the school community integrates with the neighbourhood and an “out-of-the-box” education paradigm. Adopting a twin-block design, the campus is opened to an adjacent public park and the prevailing summer wind, embracing the outdoor public green space and extending it vertically through “sky-rise greening” across various terraces and “pocket spaces” located on multiple levels.
