Day 3 - Construction to Completion 2023-2025
New Learning Block – Yew Wah International Education School, Guangzhou
To date, our studio’s largest project: a 93m-long, 5-storey linear block oriented south, with all 32 classrooms enjoying expansive views over the 400m running track and open fields.
Vast southern vistas, an elevated presence, and lush northern greenery create an open, inviting environment for the school community.
At ground level, a shaded arcade offers generous covered connections to the landscape. On upper floors, classrooms pair as learning studios with shared commons in between. Continuous cantilevered balconies—featuring exposed beams for honest structural expression—bring fluid circulation, abundant natural light, ventilation, and playful shade patterns.
Subtle shifts and angles in classroom pairs break facade monotony, while white textured paint amplifies light and shadow play across the beams and surfaces.
Completed in July 2025 – excited for the next phase in the future!
