01 DEMOLISHING 拆改构

在国际教育轻资产运营模式下，项目合理利用原有旧建筑，将原度假酒店改为国际学校，并拆除繁复装饰。

Under the mode of international educational light assets operation, the project has made full use of waste buildings by tearing down fussy decorations and makes the old hotel a nice school building.

设计旨在打破原本分层独立的空间，通过大楼梯将空间联系在一起，由于原建筑径深关系，室内光线昏暗，因此通过大面玻璃窗，将自然光线完美引入到室内空间。

A bug stairway is added as a spatial core in order to merge different spatial layers and connect spaces together. The indoor spaces of the building was pretty dark for the sake of the inappropriate total length，but natural light is introduced into the building with the help of newly-added windows.

同时在图书馆设置“五间屋”空间元素，使原本沉闷的空间充满生机，为学生营造充满意趣的学习氛围，拉开一扇感知五彩世界，品五味人生的大门。 Spatial elements which known as five houses helps to make the space vigorous and provides the students with nice learning atmosphere .
