The site was located right beside the junction of Feicui Rd and Qingnian Rd. Considering the major highway and local bureau of ecological environment nearby, the design applied enclosing spatial arrangement in order to get rid of any negative influences from these site conditions. To ensure necessary sunlight hours required for children’s activity, the three-floor high volume in the north was designated as the main education space for 12 classes. Then it was stepping downwards and sheltering other function rooms on the both sides.
The overall form was united through two individual ramps that joined roof terraces of different heights, which created a continuous open space. As white aluminum panels flew and twisted on the surface, the expression of the façade was quite fluid and rhythmic. The sub-panels beneath with timber texture heat-transfer-printed further flattered the building with a hint of warmness and delicacy. All the double-curved panels had been processed with sufficient digital optimization to achieve a good balance between modular production and architectural performance.
The cloudy glass for handrail drew a border that was both secure and poetic for the continuous roof. To further amplify the pleasure, architecture had collaborated with landscape thoroughly and three-dimensionally. The reversed beam at the entrance on the ground floor allowed a low yet open space to span 16 metres. Above the double height multi-media room, roof structure descended on purpose of the roof sunken garden. The slide and flying corridor in the centre of the courtyard defined by architecture’s volume not only provoked the climax of the overall outdoor activity but also connected the roof space and garden on the ground floor seamlessly.
Consequentially, the circulation loop was smoother and spatial experience was more of diversity. Credits: - S.P.I Landscape Group - Landscape Architect - Enjoy Design - Interior Designer
