The team won the tender for this design and build project to renovate the existing library to make it more modern, lively and engaging for the students.

Most of the works involved cabinetry design and assisted in choice of colours and materials with the other suppliers to achieve coherent design theme. The design brief given was to create pockets of spaces to double up the library as a collaborative discussion and workshop area. The existing layout that was packed with bookshelves and tables no longer serve as conducive and engaging environment for interactive learning.

The team worked closely with the school to enhance the design while keeping budget in check. Bookshelves are integrated with "cubby" reading spaces, while curved cabinetry complements the shelving design to soften the interior. Where possible, cabinetry are installed with wheels to allow flexible configurations to suit various events. A mini amphi-theatre serves as a multi-purpose space for students to do reading, performance as well as for teachers to do screening during workshops and tutorials.
