Project Overview

The school design was built upon the concept of movement. The strong lines of the asymmetrical site geometry inspired the contrasting curvilinear shape which was used to create a continuous flow within the massing while still dividing the space in a functional, yet organic, manner. The separation of private and public space was given specific attention which is reflected in the outward curling and inward curling portions of the massing. The volume closer to the site entrance curls open to visitors and houses programs like the auditorium, gym, and the main school entrance, while the lower volume curls away from those spaces for more private learning and recreational spaces. Through the strategic use of these elements, a sense of connectivity is developed throughout the school, both laterally and vertically.
