Alice Smith School
CENTRAL KUALA LUMPUR, 2012 - 2014
This educational discovery centre, located adjacent to a Ramsar-listed wetlands, is a flagship ESD project for Melbourne Water - and doubles as a bird hide.
Our proposed design for the Alice Smith School campus in Jalan Bellamy comprises a ground level open air shaded cafeteria serviced by a kitchen which will provide catering for the balance of the campus in place of the existing deli, currently on the wrong side of the bus drop off.
Arching over a sunken play area to the east, an architectural stair advertises and provides entry to the parent’s centre via a parent’s deli for those wishing to socialise with other member of the school community. West of this stair an elevator provides access for the less able.
The parents’ centre provides information about the school and informal meeting areas overlooking the assembly area and a balcony to the south.
In 2015 this project won the PAM Award Gold Category 13 for Collaboration.
Designed in collaboration with iPartnership.
