Through a concept of “Co | Exist”, which let all students to dwell together and learn from each other. In oder to realise the vision of co exist, the design emphasise on Flexibility, Active, and Dynamic to suit the vibrant lifestyle. Several programmes are introduced vertically and horizontally separated to form a multi-layered communal experience via spatial and visual interactions between users. With the site issue of being isolated at a hilly location, ground floor level has raised to be commercial and public spaces such as communal hub, event spaces, and outdoor activities. A landscape pedestrian pathway is created a access and visual connection between the site and the surrounding.
