The school literally stands with its feet in the water, connecting with the harbour like a ship alongside the quay. On the seaward side the school opens up towards the landscape with terraces set at various levels providing space for ball games on the roof and for playing and learning while moving.
On the landward side the school's tall, vertical, block-like facade structure echoes the mass and scale of the surrounding city. The facade is made of materials which allow it to constantly change character according to the viewer's position and the time of day.
