An exterior facade precedent for educational architecture, combining rhythmic vertical sun-shading louvers with warm timber accents and a transparent public base.
- What we like about this project
- Mid-level transparent voids reveal interior stairs and multi-story collaborative atriums right through the facade.

- Geometry
- A long, horizontally proportioned multi-story school building with a symmetrical yet articulated facade composition, featuring recessed glazed ground floor and rhythmic vertical shading fins on upper levels.
- Facade system
- Unitized vertical louver curtain wall with integrated timber panel insets and structural glass ground floor.
- Structural guess
- Steel and concrete composite frame with column-free glazed ground level.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale institutional campus building spanning multiple bays, dwarfing the pedestrians and cars along the street front.
- Lighting
- Diffused daylight under an overcast sky, with warm internal artificial illumination glowing through glazed and louvered facade zones.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, civic, and professional institutional atmosphere softened by warm interior lighting at dusk or overcast day.
- Environmental context
- Urban street edge with multi-lane road in the foreground, blurred moving traffic, and hazy high-rise silhouettes in the background.
- Spatial experience
- The building presents an open, welcoming ground level facing the street, transitioning upward into layered institutional volumes with visible internal circulation hubs.
- Composition rhythm
- Regular vertical fin spacing punctuated by horizontal timber-clad breakout boxes and a fully glazed transparent podium.
