New villa concept for Primary
A flexible, communal learning space
The design of the Primary school offers a new approach to teaching by creating a customized
space for this educational project in a naturally bilingual environment.
The villas house expansive open spaces (lieux de vie) with high ceilings and a homely feeling
and offer a wide range of possibilities for teaching and learning in new ways.
The idea
5 classes in the same year around a common space: the Agora
With adaptable and flexible layouts and a wealth of differently scaled, multi-purpose spaces
inside, students will benefit from a stimulating and innovative learning environment.
The advantages
Cross-learning
Collaboration between the French and the International Streams
Open plan opportunities
Versatile space

FRENCH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF HONG KONG
The villa classrooms extend seamlessly into a shared space, the Agora, where children can gather
or learn together. It is a platform intended for teachers to create a different learning environment
and implement collaborative practices between the two streams.
