By grafting a set of residential spaces onto the current school building, a contrast is created between the expansive classrooms and the more intimate additions. These domestic nooks, balconies, mezzanines, and bays are arranged around a series of new staircases that individually access each classroom. This reconfiguration circumvents the need for a typical corridor layout, allowing the entire floor area to be utilized by classes with flexible boundaries created by sliding bookshelf walls.
