The design of Rosyth School breaks new grounds in architecture with the introduction of a mid-level band of common facilities to accommodate a mega school on limited amount of land space. This also minimises vertical movements of the students and the staff, and therefore enables the medium-rise school to function like a low-rise one.
Four quadrants have been created for different activity zones all of which are connected by the main street, making the large building appear smaller than it seems. The use of planes, frames, projecting forms and primary shapes help achieve a more intimate scale for the school. Spatial volumes within the spine, together with framed views, landscaped terraces and sky gardens, give the building a sense of openness and transparency. Eye-catching colours are used in carefully selected locations to aid orientation and lend a festive air to the school, while the look-out balconies inject elements of fun and surprise.
This project has won the USA School Construction News DesignShare Awards (Recognised Value Award), the Singapore Institute of Architects Architectural Design Award and the Singapore Institute of Architects – ICI Colour Awards (Silver).
