As access to open play areas is one of the most important requirements of the brief, an interesting profile in building height is created to enhance the different use of ground and roof areas.

Different from a typical school where classrooms are connected by long corridors, classrooms of KJS are connected by a break-out space for each year group of 5 classes. Each classroom is partitioned by operable acoustic glazed panels, facilitating spill-out into the break-out space and providing opportunities for different spatial arrangement for learning and playing. Classrooms are also connected by a decked balcony, pleasant semi-open wet-play areas for the students, on their external facades. Iconic blue boxes along this facade allow each classroom to have their own display pod overlooking Perth Street or the playground.

Colour is an essential stimulation for children and forms the central theme of the School. The signature School’s dark blue colour is adopted on the elevations of the building, lightened up by different shades of blue in its iconic showcases and featured fins. Internally, each floor is represented by a distinctive colour which is carried through from floor/wall finishes, portal entrances, furniture and even to signage.
