NSFL School is a 452,000 SF elementary and middle school campus, comprising regular and specialized classrooms, library, gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, auditorium, dormitory, along with dining halls, and dedicated playgrounds.
The campus is conceived as a sweeping, horizontal garden that stands in sharp contrast with the ever denser, ever more vertical urban environment it serves. The design intentionally breaks the distinction between building and open space in favor of a low-rise linear hybrid of closed, semi-enclosed, and green, open spaces. To achieve the low-rise condition, the design uses the natural slope of the site to accommodate the large program volumes of the gym, pool, dining halls and auditorium under a series of terraced platforms, which become a new ground for dedicated teaching spaces and playgrounds.
