This development plan has been carefully developed, designed and researched over a twelve week time period. The master plan has been programmed to improve the quality of the school, student’s educational journey and teacher’s workplace environment. This scheme will also create better circulation of the school and will allow greater occupancy by the staff and students within the space of the site. This design is highly recommended as your first choice of design. My team and I will be more than happy to assists you with your enquiry.
Sincerely,

this semester ‘design studio’ was full of both experience and knowledge, where a lot has been learnt whilst little has been forgotten. ‘design studio’ was filled with resources, feedback and guidance which steered me to reach this point in my journey through architecture. a new journey will soon begin, with new knowledge needing to be absorbed and the experiences which i have learnt from this subject will consequently guide me towards the future.
