: MASSING DEVELOPMENT

In order to promote sustainability in Hong Kong, the new school will preserve and reuse the existing study block for normal classrooms while removing the assembly hall and functional room block in the front as they are mainly used for the secondary school syllabus. At the same time, a new layer of space is added in front of the study block as a return for creative learning and active playing that introduce a new way of teaching to the students.

In the new structure, the outline of it will be replicating the pattern of the shoreline of Siu Sai Wan as to evoke the same feeling as the past and to recall people’s memory of how it looks before reclamation. Whereas the existing and the new blocks are connected by an island stair system in the middle that allow students to circulate between the two blocks and levels. The stair system can be separated into two parts on the two edges of the building for easy access.
