Delivering world class learning
Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the fringes of a national park, the lakeside setting provides an exceptional arrival to this world class K-12 campus. The learning places created serve as a point of reference for the wider community development, and a social support hub for new residential and commercial infrastructure. The buildings are carefully integrated into the peaceful, lush green setting complimenting the biodiverse and visually stunning quality of the site.
Cultural architecture
With a focus on pastoral care, the boarding campus masterplan language marries a series of truly bilingual school elements with a strong sense of community cohesion. The new school is instantly recognisable, directly linked to the history of Xiaoshan. The lakeside theatre in particular references local culture and the site’s geological heritage in its form and construction.
