This project is located on the first floor, Ali Center, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, with a usable area of 122 square meters. The project is designed to create a boutique nursery with immersive English teaching. At the design level, “Maximize Potential” is the pointcut. This means building a spacious scale relationship in limited space, while creating a space full of fun and relaxation.
Studio dLux was invited by Centro Educacional Pioneiro to elaborate a new project for them. The school was looking for a space innovation. The rooms selected to the renovation were: the teacher’s room, technology room and the library.
The teachers had the necessity of a bigger room to rest during the class breaks and to prepare the activities for the students. With the room expansion, there was space to add more work stations, including an “L” shaped desk and a shared desk for eight people. A chill-out area was also created, with a small kitchen and storage furniture.
In 2017, one of China’s innovative education pioneers ETU EDUCATION commissioned Crossboundaries to design the first campus for the ETU School in Beijing, after starting off experimenting with their educational practice in a temporary space for about two years.
Shortly after Crossboundaries handed over the completed space, ETU School’s founder Mrs. Li Yinuo told us, that our children-centered design made the school extremely popular among the children, many of whom calling it “home”. When a former Finnish Counselor for Education at the Beijing Embassy came to visit the school, expressing that it was the first time they’d seen a Chinese school that felt very similar to Finnish Schools.
From a boiler room, this well-accepted school was transformed in just five months.
The architectural concept of the International School of Debrecen was based on the form of a circle. This simple, yet symbolic shape traditionally means protection, union and community, while it softly blends into the neighbouring Natura 2000 protected forest area.
The site is located near Nagyerdő, the city park of Debrecen (Hungary), in a developing and popular residential area called ‘Pallag’. This calm, natural environment provides an excellent background for a school. However, it was a great challenge to design a contemporary building that fits into its green surroundings, while it represents the qualities of the International School with its characteristic, iconic and unique appearance. The key of the design concept was to create a shape, which goes far beyond its built borders and integrates in the natural environment.
The intervention stems from the need to equip the current nursery school of the Municipality of Roverbella with an artifact, replacing the ancient already present in the vicinity, dedicated to the hospitality and care of early childhood, for the range from 0 to 3 years. The Asilo Nido “Gli Elfi” proposal has tried, in the economic balance sheet of the parties, to organize the spaces for a Nest that correspond to a capacity of at least 2 sections, commensurate in turn to be suitable to accommodate 30 children.
Servete Maçi is a primary school located in the capital of Albania, Tirana. This new built school is situated in a very dense area close to the center. The building is composed of 18 classrooms, 5 laboratories, one gymnasium, one full size auditorium for 140 people, a library, 8 individual spaces dedicated to the learning of musical instruments, several administrative area as well as all the necessary technical spaces and restrooms to accommodate all the functions and users of the building.
The school also has a semi internal / external courtyard which serves as a dynamic public space that allows students to enter and exit the school through a safe threshold. This is a strong element which can be used by both students as well as their parents. In addition, this public space creates a soft transition between the school and the main street.
This K-12 private school building contains the Lower School, Library, Music, Phys-ed and Science Departments
The Brearley School, founded in 1884, is a prestigious k-12 school located in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Since 1929 the school has resided in a single building that they purpose built. The school has grown over the years and approached KPMB to expand the facility by adding a second academic building to the campus and to renovate the existing facility so it is consistent with the new building.
As is typical in Manhattan the site has a small footprint, measuring only 100’x75’ which requires the multi-disciplined building to be a series of stacked element of dissimilar character. The project includes Science labs stacked on a regulation Gymnasium stack on an Auditorium, Stacked on a “school house” stacked on Common room and Library. The resulting building could have been an incoherent Jenga tower however there was a strong desire to unify the elements into a coherent volume with more subtle expression of the program through fenestration scale and density.
The new building for “Teda No. 1 Middle School” has been officially opened in 2017 – marking the first schneider+schumacher building ever to be completed in China. schneider+schumacher won the competition in 2012 with their proposal to replace the existing school building with a new building.
The site is centrally located in the city, in Tianjin’s ‘Teda Economic Development Zone’ located in the Binhai District. The current school has already established an excellent reputation, and accordingly it bears the name ‘Teda No. 1 School’.
This project is a new building for the School of Biological Sciences, located in the protected native landscape “Jock Marshall Reserve” at Monash University’s Clayton campus.
The building forms a new gateway to the JMR Reserve from College Walk, which accesses the Monash Halls of Residence. The main internal space is a laboratory for collaborative learning about the environment, the science of plants and animals.

Designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group and Executive Architect LEO A DALY, The Heights building opens as a cascade of green terraces fanning from a central axis, addressing the academic needs of Arlington’s two county-wide school programs while forming a vertical community within its dense urban context.
Located along Arlington’s Rosslyn-Ballston corridor, The Heights merges two existing secondary schools – the H-B Woodlawn Program and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Program – into a new 180,000sf building to accommodate an expected enrollment of up to 775 students. BIG and LEO A DALY were commissioned in 2015 and worked closely with Arlington Public Schools (APS), WRAP (West Rosslyn Area Plan) and the Arlington community to design state-of-the-art educational facilities that support both H-B Woodlawn’s visual and performing arts-focused curricula and Shriver’s extensive resources for students with specialized educational needs. The Heights is currently on track to achieve LEED Gold.
