The school design is governed by an underground gas pipeline running diagonally across the rectangular site, creating two odd triangles, which by virtue of their areas were allocated to be the kindergarten on the north and the school on the south. The resulting curved masses have some unexpected advantages – classrooms on the convex edge enjoy varying views due to the changing radial axes, and the corridor on the concave edge is of a shorter length. The playground benefits from disappearing building faces, creating the perception of an expanding view, making it feel larger than it is. The circular block is designed as shared urban infrastructure – with the library, dance, music and theatre studios – to be used by the students during school hours and then opened to the public as a children’s club after hours. As an extension, the amphitheatre can also be opened for public activities, without opening access to the main school building blocks. The site boundary dissolves at the road edge, designed to accommodate student drop-off and pick-up while being mindful of regular traffic. The kindergarten is a g+3 load bearing structure, with 14x14m spans of flat slabs with no soffits. Its entry is separated, as a gradual ramp leading to a private court on the north-west corner of the site.
