The client, Perbadanan Putrajaya, required the entire complex to be designed based on the concept of Putrajaya as a garden city. Therefore, the buildings which are clustered around the school field, are linked by a network of covered walk paths surrounded with abundantly landscaped open spaces that give the school complex just the correct ambience of buildings in a park, suitable for a garden city architectural scheme.
Conceptually, the design of the building enclosure is based on tropical architecture. Interior spaces are adequately shaded using aluminum sunshades, set in windows and 1.5 metre roof eaves. Visual variety in the façade is achieved by layering the surface planes and using natural facing bricks juxtaposed against plastered columns, recalling images of school buildings in the colonial past, though interpreted in a more modern and contemporary architectural vocabulary without the use of ornaments and other classical features.
