Design concept

The idea behind the project

A K–12 school proposal with separate learning buildings connected by paths, ramps, and shared courtyards.

[Add the central design question, site response, spatial intentions, and the decisions that shaped the proposal.]

Project type: K–12 school proposal
Location: Coral Gables, Florida
Size: [Add site area and building area]
Scope: Learning buildings, courtyards, ramps, and shared campus spaces

A familiar place, reconsidered

The proposal is for Henry S. West Laboratory School in Coral Gables, Florida—the school Brandon attended as a child. It studies the campus as a collection of connected learning environments.

Program and movement

Distinct program colors help explain the relationship between buildings. Shared paths, courtyards, and ramps connect the ground and upper levels, supporting a reading of the school as a continuous spatial network.

A design ambition

Net-zero is the proposal’s design ambition, rather than a claim of measured performance. The interactive study makes the building arrangement and circulation available for exploration; its real-time materials are interpretations of the supplied geometry and references.
