About

Located on Shengshan Island, the Shengshan Primary School Renovation transforms a once rigid campus into a vibrant, child-centered environment that fosters creativity and community engagement. The design reconfigures traditional pathways into inviting public corridors and open terraces that seamlessly link classrooms, sports areas, and communal zones. By opening up previously confined spaces, the project creates fluid transitions between indoor and outdoor areas, allowing for dynamic interactions and flexible usage. Playful architectural elements and personalized facades imbue the school with a unique identity that reflects the aspirations of its young inhabitants—often called “little island masters.” This innovative approach not only enhances the educational experience by providing informal learning spaces and recreational hubs but also strengthens the bond between the school and the local community. Ultimately, the renovation reimagines the campus as an active, nurturing environment where functional design meets playful exploration, inspiring a new generation to thrive and collaborate.
