The interior design focused on creating multi-functional uses, providing retractable seating and AV equipment, while timber acoustic panels were the main design element, creating a formal yet naturalistic feeling for the flexible spaces. Glass walls in the upper sports hall invite audience to join sports events from the corridor above.
A new atrium connecting to the existing campus creates a ‘glass lantern’ effect, promoting visual communication between students inside and outside the rooms. Glass walls are also used in all classrooms, laboratories and design studios to break through traditional isolated teaching spaces. The whole atrium space is covered by an extensive skylight, welcoming the sky, sunlight and wind into space while providing shelter from rains.
The theme of the façade is a “transparent bookcase” – stylised to be a modernised traditional Chinese bookcase. A modernised moon gate at the entrance echoes the original moon gate, an icon of the school, linking the old with the new.
