The Broadway elevation features a planter that runs along the entire façade adding a touch of greenery to the neighborhood.

The use of black corrugated metal as the primary material responds to the existing school across the street, which also features chrome corrugated metal walls.

Interior view of a corridor featuring fin walls, skylights, and ribbon windows, all carefully designed to capture light in unique and dynamic ways from the south-facing façade.

At the landing of the staircase, a bench is positioned next to the angled window creating a cozy and inviting space to sit in.

The diagrams show the design process of shaping the building.

Since one of the primary challenges was to design an outdoor space within the constraints of the small site and allowable FAR, we carved out the center of the building resulting in a roof deck.

The other elements that were considered during the design process were light, shade, greenery, stormwater collection, and materiality.
